Nice report, any size to the mangroves? The catfish were everywhere last night, not just at Ch 5.

Very nice... The dinner sized grovers never disappoint if you know how to fish for em down there. As far as tonite, stay home, low pressure system which may turn nautical on top of us again! Soon after, the bite should be on though, hit me up!

I get pissed and let it be known with the flats boat fisherman who show NO regards and NO respect to myself when fishing. They have that "since you're on a bridge and I'm on a boat I'm better than you attitude" and it's sickening and puts me over the edge.

I don't go throwing sinkers or flying objects at them. But you better believe I make their fishing experience not a great one. It's a two way street with me, you respect me and my area and everything's fine, don't come near me thinking you own the place or are of some high authority when you are just a regular fisherman like myself.

Ive had a FEW boat fisherman and sometimes on land who are respectable about fishing near me and go the right away about it and those I have absolutely no problem with.

we had one boat do that to us at sebastin one time that 3 of us caught his anchor and we had it on the pier , we told him we would give it back if he backed off , he replied he would set it back to were it was so we dropped it in the rocks at the end of the pier , he would have to damage his boat to get it back , he finally cut the rope and left
