Personally I would have calmly tied on a BIG A** trebble with about a 1oz lead and fired away with my big rod. It would either hook on him or something and I know with the line on the rod I would have used he would be swimming with the gators. Hopefully the boat would be in gear and either go off down the lake or run the SOB over a few times.

I filed a report with the dnr, they have a law against harrassing fishermen.<br /><br />Doubt anything will be done about it, but at least the boats registration numbers are supposedly in their database...

Down South here, we usually don't have these type of problems! Probably because every coonazz has a firearm on his boat. He probably wouldn't have flew up on a boat with a Glock being Aimed at him. Let alone get close enough to grab a fishing pole from the boat he was attacking! Sounds like a clear case of self defense. <br /><br />The idiot really needs to stop and think about his way of protesting before he ends up being an Ex Protestor.

Were is SBN when you need him? We need to BOMB EM! We used to do some salmon snagging in upstate New York. I keep a couple of those snagging hooks in the bottom of my box - never know when they will come in handy! ;)

Re: So im out on the lake fishing today....

back in the day, my buddy Bob and I took Chugboat Annie out on the Mullica, and I forget the exact particulars, but it was windy and I think Annie might have swung over and tapped this guidos boat, both of us in the ramp, now annie was bumpered and in far nicer shape that this boat, but anyway I hear yelling going on, so I get out of the van and come around to see this azzhole grabbing my buddy. Bob is the nicest guy in the world, strong and all, but a bit on the passive side, and this guy was about a foot taller, not exactly fair<br />More to the point, he's MY BUDDY, and like my van, my dog, my stuff, I get incredibly defensive over such things, and just ripped him away from Bob and started beating on him - Bob had seen me get mad at inanimate objects and bend and break things that shouldnt be bendable or breakable, but never at a living being - I beat him silly, then bashed a few dents in his pickup with his skull and threw him in the bed of his pickup - Bob said he was a big bodybuilder sorta guy, and was scared he was going to beat him up ... then was REALLY scared I was going to kill him, apparently he was bleeding and blubbering, real tough guy when its some little little guy hes picking on<br /><br />I know, I know ... should have taken a chill pill, but I HATE BULLIES, especially boozed up guidos that think they are bad, AND ESPECIALLY when they are six foot five and pickin on some five eight guy<br /> ... :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: <br /><br />but I havent chilled THAT much, boy I tell ya, that would be one sorry dipchit that attacked me PERSONALLY, trying to cause harm to my stuff or me<br /><br />ah well, warning to you PETA types, ya see a guy in an old tin boat with two old motors on the back, and hes fishin and having a good time ...<br /><br />leave him be, lemme tell ya, LEAVE HIM BE!!!<br /><br /> :mad:

Re: So im out on the lake fishing today....

a buddie and i were out on the river doin a lil fishin and had a guy flying up and down the river (young guy) but he kept yelling stuff at us and getting really close to us each time getting closser and closser so we moved. and he kept on doing it. all it took was fore us to get a decent speed pull motor out of water and float over the downed oak tree in the river and start fishing again (oak tree was about 3 feet thick) he only got one chance at a flyby that time be4 his boat went bye bye and he went for about a 5 mile hike/swim in gator infested waters also called the fwc and told them to meet me at the boat ramp. they gave the guy 2 days to clean the litter (boat) from the bottom of the river and he got a pretty nice size fine also. point is sometimes it just takes a little defensive move to bring down a big *******.

I love animals-- Their delicious
A cannibal looks over at his friend and asks " I'm hungry feel like a little Chinese?"

But seriously folks, that is one of the reasons I always take my two meter (ham) radio with me, most of the hams I know would give unmentionable body parts to handle a mayday call:cool:
Oh and you can keep them up in Michigan

Hey Ray- Why don't ya tell us how you really feel. As a plus I have decided to write PETA at their email addy. I will forward all of my junk mail there way, they might be interested in it.

Make sure to include a slice of ham or bologna in your envelope. They like that I've heard.

There is an organization that sponsors "meat PETA day" where everyone is supposed to send PETA a slice of lunch meat (in a ziplock baggie though)

Wouldn't that type of action be considered an act of piracy and you would be free to shoot him and sink his vessel?

Re: So im out on the lake fishing today....

Sorry to hear about the PETA geniuses hassling you Jello. Sounds like you handled it with patience and they are lucky you were as nice as you were. So far I haven't run into any of these "special" folks around Lansing but if I do I will have some surprises for them:mad:(some good ideas on this thread).

My only experience was when fishing on the Looking Glass river some idiots who live on a nature preserve?!? called the police and reported that I was poaching deer on their property.

1. We were in my %^&*#$ boat- not on shore.
2. We only had fishing gear- no compound bows, pistols, rifles or shotguns
3. I did have a spotlight- used for navigation on the river after dark-legal
4. The guy and his male companion asked if we were going to head backout and keep fishing after he clearly ruined our night- if the cop wasn't there still they would've had some issues to contend with

The cop basically aplogized for the needless hassle but the two douchebags didn't feel the need to do so and explained that they've had issues with poacher before so they felt justifies in their actions- total nonsense.

Why live on a nature preserve if you're only looking to hassle law-abiding sportsmen? What a couple of clowns.

Personally I'd like to see those folks(including PETA activists) try to survive in the world without having someone else providing food for them. Those idiots wouldn't last a month on their own before they start asking people like us how to catch fish to eat or how to butcher animals to eat without getting sick.

I say to those morons- Good luck eating tofu and attacking those individuals who enjoy honing the old survival skills in the great outdoors. Let me know how that works out when times get tough. Their mommies and daddies did a real bang-up job raising them- that much is clear.

If that PETA PITA pulled that out on the Harris Chain he likely wouldn't have made it back to the ramp. There are a lot of folks out fishing every day and most have VHF radios and keep in touch. Also the Sheriff's Marine unit is always out and about on the lake and constantly moniors the VHF channels from their Hickory Point sub-station.

Those people don't respect our rights to fish and hunt...but you know what they do respect? A .357!

I carry it in my boat because I had a friend get into a very bad altercation with an activist. Needless to say, the cops finally came to the lake (about an hour later) and arrested the ******* for harrassment. It's legal to protect yourself, and I highly recommend some type of protection, especially if you have your family with you.

Sorry to hear that your day was ruined...next time, don't be so easy on the guy. As long as you don't make irrational decisions, the cops are on your side about the whole "right to fish" ordeal.

I prefer a slingshot with glass marbles, I had a guy following me while I was trolling for salmon right over my baits. After several unsuccessful attempts to rid myself of him I started to pay out some gorilla braid line which floated nicely into his path. I know when he hit it because it took the hole roll into the prop.

Re: So im out on the lake fishing today....

probably the best way of dealing with em is to carry some tied off to about 100ft of yellow poly rope. use your fishing skills to toss the rope across his path, let him reel in the poly line... no one gets hurt and the retard is out of action for a good long time until the cops can show up to round the moron up for threatening your life and property.

i would definately call the local police or water cops if they are available and tell em the idiot is threatening to kill me and sink my boat.

i would be tempted to tossing my 3 week old chicken livers at em i use for catfish bait...
