What would you have done.

[Jeremy K]

Coming in from Lake O last night in the dark , my father in law and i went out in his boat and casted just out of the mouth of olcott . Coming back in ,the last guy on the pier didn't bring his line in which caused it to get wrapped around our impeller . This guy swore and screamed at us for as long  he was still in eye sight . My father in law is a Gratwick river rat and grew up boating and fishing from boats his whole life . He said" I don't know what he wants me to do about it " . I would have kept going too if i was driving the boat , i'm not sure why this big mouth A-hole though it was ok to fish a channel and  not bring his line in when a boat came through .

Exactly what you did

Probably should have stopped, untangled the line from the prop, rolled it up into to a ball, turned around, and when you got close enough tossed it back to him.

I've had this happen in the canal at Sylvan beach.  It's real narrow and people fish it from the edges. It's about wide enough for a couple boats to pass each other and be half a cast from each shoreline.  Well I must've hooked some guys line and he is running down the canal yelling at us.   I def didnt stop and said the same thing what do you want me to do?    I can't run into the other boat and I hooked this guy's hook and sinker.  Sorry....

You really had no other choice,  the guy on land was probably arrogant,  and full of himself anyways, seeing as how he left his line out in the boats travel paths....I look at it as if someone was playing hockey in the road, and left all their stuff blocking the road...you really expect the cars to wait until you're done playing hockey?  Same sort of deal with you, and the fisherman.  Fisherman should have just reeled in for 2 minutes for you to pass by.  The whole situation was just unnecessary.

He probably didn't want to set his beer down .

I fished out on the pier all night last night. I pulled my line in when a boat came in. It wasn't like they were coming in and out every 2 minutes! U just can't fix stupid!

Those are the guys tight lining anyways. I have already been bashed for bashing that style of fishing, but I don't really care. Most "pier guys" are decent enough to know when to reel em in. But, there are plenty of guys that think boats have to stay outside since they have a boat but when the fish are in they are the only ones allowed to fish the pier area.

What would I have done.... Well, what seems more valuable, a 4$ Cleo or a prop, spline, impeller, water pump even motor???? All things that can get jacked up with fishing line twisted all in there. I'd have definately delivered his line back to him, especially if he was barking at me. Or maybe just tie it off to the boat and see if he has his cutters handy.

We had about 100 yards of line still in the water when we pulled the boat out , i wrapped it up to throw away , the kicker was the line wrapped around the impeller was rigged with just a big ol treble hook  and one egg.
