The weather reports said that the winds wouldn't be HOWLING until late morning. Finished breakfast, and the paper, and decided to go fishing. Bought a pound of shrimp and headed to SPJ. Got there about 9:30, put a shrimp on a small circle hook 4' below a cork and by 1PM caught AND RELEASED over 40 sheepshead. What a blast. Standing down on the rocks you couldn't tell how hellacious the winds had gotten.

The enjoyment was lost however, when a Filipino family showed up. There were sons, daughters, mothers, brothers, grandparents and even a baby in a stroller. They actually came down and stood on the same rock I was on and proceeded fishing. I said you're not really planning on fishing here are you and the reply was "fish here, I fish here". I was going to move but didn't want to give them the satisfaction of running me off. That was until they tangled up my line for the 3rd time. A--holes.

Anyway, it was a great day and now I have to tackle my honey-do list.

I have noticed that in some cultures, usually where people are stacked on each other. I guess the ones that didn't muscle in on a good spot starved to death. Embarassed

Right on, potlickers are potlickers regardless of nationality.

I wasn't saying anything against Filipinos, but I was saying it about "people" who have no regard for others. It just happened that this family that affected my day, were Filipino.

I don't know about this one, I can't tell where one group/family starts and another one stops at SPJ on just about any given day Laughing

I think everybody just merges and starts sharing bait and tackle, their a friendly bunch out there. Laughing

This "politically correct" garbage is craaaaap! If they were phillipino then they were phillipino. If they were german then they were german. There isn't anything wrong with stating nationality. They were what they were.

What bothers me is that both of you didn't have the guts to stand up to them, phillipino, german, or otherwise, and you both let them get away with it. When are people going to start standing up for themselves and deal with the problem. I'll guarantee you that my response would have been "you no fish here or I kick you a$$$$$$$."

Guess after 2 tours in Vietnam and now being over 60 i'm just a crusty old codger - but I will guarantee you - I won't put up with that kind of behavior.

Sounds like you had a good time till the potlickers showed up. Don't feel so bad I'll be miles down PINS nobody insight for miles and all of a sudden out of the blue some donkeys arse will park right next to me and my family and start fishing. I understand jumpin out of your truck and cast a few times and split. But come on setting up camp there Rolling Eyes

. I'll just pull out the old video camera and start filming them,sometimes that works. Respect and common sense should be a universal thing! Thanks for the sheephead report. Sounds like theres plenty of em this year.
