"That Guy" - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

On the drifting note. Don't setup a drift over an area another guy is working. That's my biggest pet peave. If I've been methodically working an area for a 1/2hr and you stop right where I've been casting, I won't be too happy. I probably won't say anything, but I'll think it. I recently had that happen. I did at least 10 short drifts in the same 30' and some guy (who'd been slowly working my way) stopped right on top of where I was casting. We were in 50' so the splashing wasn't an issue, but I wanted to be casting across where he was.

Bad form.

Oh - Sorry Ed, I didn't realize you were casting - I was busy checking my lat/lon position to be sure I was out of the MLPA area and didn't notice you there.
