Jeremy......have a whinge why don't you...you did say the bloke seems like a leech and u bought a boat to get away from tools like him...
I never said I condoned what he did nor do it myself as you obviously are implying. Hope Xmas makes you a bit more of a caring and tolerant person & reduces the urge to do nasty things to others. Merry Xmas mate.

Was trolling on nine mile tweed last Sunday when this orange rental boat with 5 on board appeared from out of the blue. We were only 2 boats out there as the the pressure waves stood up a bit and you needed to be very careful.
Now this rental boat started to follow the other boat trailing by about 150 m, problem is we are trolling similar lines when the others boat turns they follow only to cut across me and missis me by about 50 m as I am going straight , second time around I caught there lines and needless to say not to happy to sit in that breaking waves and sort out the lines.
maybe related to the seagull management style. fly in, make alot of noise, crap on everything and then piss off. i dunno....
Nah it's what seagulls do..... If one looks like its getting a feed the others swoop in and have a go.
Thanks for that gents.

They need to have good boaties and fishes to hand out licences so no wankers can get them.
I often fish fish outside alone and mid week so some days you will not see one boat within kms but the amount of time that I can be enjoying the serenity and 1 other boat will come straight up ad drop on your drift with in ear shot, if you are going to come that close at least say gday and get your head out of the sounder, DT is a larger reef.
I have on a number of occasions on holidays followed boats out but I will approach them slowly and ask if they mind throw them a tinnie and most occasions we end up having a few together and stay on the same drift or separate then contact over radio to share. Out wide off evans even did this with a pro and he just said if we could stay away from his long lines but he gave us some really good productive Gps marks to go to.
Patience Mate-ship ad appreciation goes along way on the water.
I'm only a land based fisho. But I I can see where you're coming from. If I happen to wander to a spot where another is. I will 9/10 introduce myself and ask how their day has been. Bit of a chat. Techniques and baits using and what could be thought as intruding on a spot turns out to be just a friendly convo. I always do this at boat ramps as to not p*ss off the boaties. That way they don't mind me fishing on the ramp they are launching from. I don't understand why people have to be rude?
Yrs ago. When I was a yachtie in SA.
We used to go over the Gulf and anchor or pick up moorings in Port Vincent.
Stansbury and others.
Those dicks used to do the close by and round and round with us.
A coupla empty (Longnecks preferably) stubbies lobbed right under the front of the jetski.
Fixes ém real good. Lovely big bang.. They don't come back again.
we often had kids. and adults swimming back to the boats to cool off.
i know if some bloke followed me every angle and it was quite obvious i would start throwing shit at him,,,,, thats like checking some ones potts
. ......we do have violent and idiotic people in our society don't we.

this happened a fair bit in the torres strait, so much so that we used to leave at 4am to avoid other boaties. another tactic i use is to drift fish and if someone is getting close i just keep drifting, put the rods down and pretend we're having lunch, with a bit of current I'm a fair way off the mark by the time they get close. Then give the "not much luck here, you guys doing any good?" as they come close. Although tempted I haven't started having a piss when they get close, but I am tempted.. a number 2 would be even better "would you mind? I'm trying to shit here."
although also tempting I haven't phoned crimestoppers annonymously yet with their boat rego saying: "aren't automatic weapons illegal? I don't think people should be firing them at turtles anyway. Also, I thought smoking pot when driving a boat was illegal too? They surely shouldn't be using dynamite when high on pot, that's just silly and bad for the reef."
