I can relate to being crowded…this happened to me on an outer cape beach at night….fish hitting a guy sees me landing fish comes down standing ten yards to my right…..I tell him fish are all along the beach right near the lip….he siad I’m not catching….15 minutes later he throws across me it’s dark we tangle up….I help him untangle I had to redo my leader…..I tried talking to him about spreading out but he stayed close….I eventually went for a long walk fished another hole the fish were there as well…annoying because miles of beach he follows me around
Especially on an empty beach at night,no excuse for that.I try to be respectful,and give people as much space as possible.I get that everyone wants to catch fish,and that’s fine.But a certain amount of respect should still be shown to other fishermen,we’re all trying to catch fish!!!🎣
