Re: Fishing Etiquette - How Close is Too Close?
My answer may differ from other people. I'm a casual fisherman. I try to not go out when I know there's a tournament going on. If I reach a spot where someone is fishing, I leave a buffer roughly 100 yards. I've had similar situations where someone "poached" the bank I was fishing. A boat ...

My late father-in-law, Andrew Fernandez, was a hero during the 1955 floods. He worked for the federal government and knew about a migrant workers camp that was in danger of being flooded. Flooding was so imminent that no one wanted to go and rescue them. So, he jumped into a bus and drove into the m...

They were lucky that employees locked many of the doors once the shooting started and he couldn't get inside. He had multiple guns in his possession outside Bass Pro.

My favorite thing about the delta is that you'll never know what you'll catch from cast to cast. Years ago, using the same Rat L Trap, within a week, I caught my personal best Black Bass (9.6 lbs), Salmon (28 lbs), and Striper (28 lbs). I've also caught catfish and crappies with that same lure.

Dave H. Even when a seller does his best to package an item, he doesn't control the shipping company or whatever happens when the item leaves his hands. The seller is not God.

Check out the access points at low tide so you get an ideal of how shallow it is. Going in at high tide will make it safer, but knowing what it looks like at low tide will let you know which spot you can use to leave as the tide recedes.
