So I decided I was gonna do some night catfishing this evening since I have tomorrow off. I was fishing off the dock at my local marina in my usual spot, with my lines cast out to the side so that the dock was still accessible to boats that wanted to tie-up and refuel and whatnot.
This guy in his expensive ass bass boat just cruises up about 5 feet in front of me and runs over both of my lines and yanks one of my rods in the lake.
How do you deal with this kind of situation? I lost about $60 worth of gear because of it. I was so pissed, all I could do was yell, "Thanks asshole." and pack my shit and leave.

How can you be angry that a guy with a boat is using the marina?
He pays , you dont.
When you see a boat coming get your shit out of his way.

I did pay. You have to pay $5 to fish off the dock. It's a private marina.

Well now i have to admit that does change things a bit.
Could you have yelled a warning ?
>>1093764
I've fished here for years with no problem. Since I almost always bottom fish, most boats can go right over my line no problem unless you come up right in front of my poles, which is what this guy did.

As far as yelling a warning, I didn't think the guy was going to drive right in front of me until it was too late. I seriously though it would be common sense not to drive directly in front of somebody's lines in the water.

never expect boaters to have common sense, i usually just fish far away from the boats.

Do you remember the guy or the boat? A real man would go call the people in charge and describe the guy and his boat and demand his contact info. A real alpha would've hung around and kicked his ass when he docked.
You'll probably do neither and just wanted to bitch so whatever.

Bassholes should be gassed and their shitty boats should all be turned into insulation.
