Well..short and long story,
me and my friend hit the one of famous combat fishing river in lower mainland
we already saw bunch of guys were fishing at famous spot.
So we went to check other spot
Of course 7 people were fishing shoulder to shoulder aka combat fishing
Luckly, no one was fishing otherside. So me and my friend decided to fish at otherside.
Well, fishing was good. We limit out in a hour and kept fishing.
All the sudden, this guy who was fishing otherside came to our spot, asked us " Do you guyz even
have fishing license?"
I was like ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? :o
and he started to unpack his gear where my friend was fishing ( my friend was having smoke break at that time)
I kindly told him that my friend is fishing over there so If you fish there ,you basically taking over
my friend spot?
He said: So?
My friend didnt want to argue with this guy so He packed his gear and decided to watch me
fishing.
and then, as usual , this guy kept casting over my line, tip of rod pointing right in front of my face
and etc.
Also, I noticed that he kept getting close to me inch by inch. 5mins later, guess what?
Distance between me and him was 30cm away. I was like WTF?? now you try to take over my
spot??
From that point ,I had to express my feeling to this guy. Well as usual, he doesnt give a F about
what he was doing.
Well, no point to waste my valuable time with this jerk, we had to finish our fishing unfortunately.
I understand there is lots of pressure in local rivers but at least I wish some people know basic
manner .
PS, If you see this guy, better give him your spot,otherwise he will bark like crazy

2 of you and one of him? If so what were you doing allowing him to bully you? Either put him in his place or make him go for a swim!!!!
-
I hope that water was low so that at least he can swim out for his life when I kick him in water
-
Is he in yellow or grey
-
me in white hoody

Hey yakideath12. Are you worry because he dress like BRUCE LEE ?

good one dude!

Maybe this guy was choked because you had already caught your limit, but were still fishing?
Who knows...

No excuse , that location is first come first serve. Too bad, may be next time MR. BRUCE LEE should get there at 4 o'clock in the morning. :P

By the way, Bruce Lee was already fishing the pool at other side of bank, we hit there around 4pm
Next time when I see him , I should ask him to teach me how to famous " One inch punch "
-
Should have asked him if they had that yellow jump suit in a men's size.

X2 if that was me and my buddy......Mr Bruce lee would been swimming if he was lucky.I'm not one for physical altercations but I'm no stranger to one and I have no problems letting a bully getting a taste of his own meds
-
thanks for deleting my post.
-
Im just confused why you would block out his face and not yours?
I have fished that river for some time and am now curious who it is - if I recognize him, or if its a new guy... then again, based on the yellow rain gear and attitude, probably a new guy.
-
LOL...Love hearing all the tough guys coming out and saying "Well if it was me and my buddy the guy would be going for a swim"! Good luck with that, if that guy can't swim the RCMP will be coming after you for more than assault.
I learned my lesson with that river a long time ago and I'm not the kind to let a fool that I don't know crowd me. I beat the tar out of a older drunk fool that tried to beat me over the head with a rock saying I was using a circle hook( ???) and that I should hand over my license. Anyway, long story short I left after and called the cops and when they came the guy was still fishing and the Cops got his side of the story and since he had a damaged face I would have been charged with assault but lucky for me I had a witness down river. BTW....you can also be arrested for threatening people as well as I found out ;D :D ;)
It's just not worth it! That river especially the busy spots will always be full of idiots and the funny thing is that I've seen Banana Suit fishing the 2 popular upper river spots and yeah he's pretty persistant(all about the meat...) but the are a lot more than just that guy. Personally I think the crowding and new personalities is spurred on by people that boast and have to report all the success they are having on the Cap. KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.... stop whining!!!
-
Looks like he had his survival suit on already. So bright 8) 8) :..
-
Big T are you doing that same thing you do on Sundays?
-
Look, at least for me, fishing is supposed to be relaxing. Cable pool is a high traffic area where you will encounter all types of fishermen good and bad. Forget about booting people in the river, if you don't like the stuff that can go on there-Don't Go. I would much rather fish in a quiet spot and not catch a thing than get all worked up over the actions of 1 or 2 idiots. But that's just me...

x2 well stated!
-
after fishing that river, and that particular spot for a couple of times, I decided not tor fish that river again there...Not worthy and there are always other options...
-
I guess if you are fishing in that kind of environment, be ready to accept that kind of behaviour.
People just don't give a hoot and fishing etiquette is almost non existence nowadays.
-
I would have been all, "Hey Buddy, the Jerk Store called, they are running out of you."
That'll learn'm.
-
I'm glad he didn't block his face. Next time I see him catching fish I'm going to take his spot ;D
-
OMG this sh* is funny !
just one of the compounded things that have made me avoid that river since trying it a few times many many years ago.
HOOK - don't piss me off though because I WILL push your my friend in :P and without warning !!!
-
I would feel like a dog, and somebody is slowly inching there hand toward my food in that situation... I would have probably told him to go fly the f**k somewhere..
-
Both Cable Pool and Dog Leg are well known for foolish fishermen of all stripes.
When salmon are running, I rarely if ever fish there any more due to abundance of ill mannered fishermen.
If you don't enjoy combat fishing, best stay away from those two spots.
There is still another 5~6km of river remaining to explore. :)
-
You get em everywhere. Just this evening, my wife and I were fishing off the dock at Lafarge Lake. 3 Persian guys and a girl all came onto that tiny dock and decided they were gonna fish on the dock as well. One or two more would be ok, but they ALL started casting their lines. My wife and I moved to a different spot, but man, was I ever close to losing it on them.
IMO, it's just not worth my time. There's stupid people everywhere in this world. You'll never change that. Just walk away, find another spot, and enjoy what nature has to offer :)

Well put. My thoughts exacty. If you are willing to toss someone in the water or beat them up over a fishing spot then you are from the same shallow end of the gene pool as they are. If you are attacked, that is differnet and you should defend yourself. Although there is nothing worse than having some guy(s), without asking, cram in on your spot and violate evey rule of fishing etiquete know. I've been there dozens of times and yes it sucks, especially when you were there are first light and some ignoramus showing up at noon thinks he can just shoehorn himself in where there is no room. That being said, it's just a fishing spot!
Also for bbronswyk2000, yakideath12 and chronicfisher, as Pin-Nook alluded to...unless you are one bad a** dude and can be confident that you can take just about anyone, do you really want to pick a fight with a stranger??!!??!! You have NO idea who this guy is. Is he a trained fighter? A kung-fu master? Or maybe some some joe blow who has never been in a fight. Maybe he is a nut bar and has a knife. Perhaps you will go to lay a beating on him and he will lay a beating on you, and your buddy, and throw you both in the river!
I work in law-enforcement and I could not tell you how many times I've seen a big tough guy mean looking guy get destroyed by someone 1/2 his size who didn't look tough at all. But he was trained fighter. The bottom line is unless you have to fight - don't! And if you do get in a fight, as an old Krav Magra instructor of mine used to say "hit first and hit hard, and if that doesn't work, go for the ballsack."
My rule of thumb is if someone is being rude, confront them and say something. Maybe they are ignornat of the unwritten rules. After that if they just don't care and are clearly just a jerk, then I leave. Maybe I'll walk the dog and come back later. Remember...it's just a fishing spot.

Why is his face blocked out? I think people wanna see who this guys is.
-
Most ridiculous thread ever, complaining about combat fishing the cap....you just add to the equation pal.
-
Wow are we at the point where you either watch ppl get bullied and letting these guys just take over? And just rather watch and do nothing is better then not stepping up helping your fellow fisherman out? is there no way of getting rid of these jerks?
-
Just cut his line, the end.

Such behavior is, unfortunately, to be expected during "combat fishing" and if you can't deal with it then you should probably just not fish such spots where you know the yo-yos will gravatate to.
I've learned over the years to just go for a few hours at first light during the "combat season" before all the obnoxious people start to show up. After that I ask myself...do I really need more fish for the freezer??!! Probably not. Rather than get stressed out over fishing, which to me totally defeats the point of going fishing, I just do something else like go for a hike or bike.
-
fishing the hot spts on the ched allowed me to cope with such fishermen. most of the I will stand my ground and post up.kind of like who will leave first.its kind of a funny situation though, if im not getting a sniff I'll just move on down the run.
like alot of you are saying there is a ton of people who have no regard for ethics. sometimes its better to bite the bullet once in a while and move on. you cant let such people ruin your "escape". "real recognize real" and sometimes if this occurences happen other fishermen will look at me and mouth "wtf" and vice versa.
once again, at the end of the day dont let this behaviour ruin your day, the river is long enough where you have to trek many minutes to find "salvation" .those people arent willing to do so.
(sorry for what may an incoherent thought process...)
-
Non-violent solution -> empty 3 ketchup packets into mouth, proceed to start coughing/gagging while spitting out ketchup. Betcha the jerk will leave.

Theres combat fishing tho, and then theres just plain out a**hats which seem more abundant on the cap then elsewhere. Was just out on Sunday with a friend who decided to climb down to the pool below Dog, was down there for about 45 mins before some a**hats leaving the lower side of the Dog who decided they didnt think anyone with more balls then them should fish down there and proceeded to start throwing rocks at him. Hope their aim gets better before we see them again.

Wow... is that a centerpin? 8)

That's the creative spirit cuts!
Or keep a small whoopee cushion in your side pocket if they get too close.....
Or start talking about Jesus and salvation when they slide in next to you....
;D
-
Sucks that you guys let him ruin your day and, affectively, encouraged his behavior. Oh well, we can't all be heros :P
Thanks for the report; glad to hear there are loose lipped fish in there! Looks like you guys were fishing well after first light too! :) :)
-

Or just start hitting the gym and eating a lot of protein. Not only will you become more intimidating to the average joe, but your farts will become more frequent and smell HORRID. ;D ;D
Or start talking about Jesus and salvation when they slide in next to you....
;D
"Ah, a follow fisherman! How are you today brother?! Fine day to be out enjoying the Lord's wonderous creation isn't it?! Say brother, remind me, what did the Lord say about the fishes and salvation? What? You haven't heard of the Lord and his good word?! Why brother, you simply must hear the Good Word!! ... .... ..." ;D ;D

Best to walk away...... life is too short.

Ive gotten close to throwing a few "people" into the river.. had quite the argument with a russian snagger there 2 years ago.. i was ready to kill the fool.
I will still fish cable when i can. since moving to whistler.. im enjoying all the small trout i can catch in the corridor.. havent had a need to go to the cap since 2011 8)
-
I saw this guy before and he is one of those regular snaggers in the pool. There are always a group of snaggers show up almost every evening, harassing other fishmen out and start their business. I called DFO last week. If you guys saw a group of age 20s. A blonde super short flat top, a chubby guy... Pick up your phone.
-
I remember back in 1998/1999 groups used to show up after 10pm and fill garbage bags full.. usually redneck kids. That used to really piss me off.
-
By the way, Bruce Lee was already fishing the pool at other side of bank, we hit there around 4pm
Next time when I see him , I should ask him to teach me how to famous " One inch punch "
Next time when you see those snagging losers, just pull out your phone. Tape their face and what they have done. Call DFO. They will do what The cops do it for the riot.

I think I know who you are talking about. One of the members of that group of young guys was the same guy whose picture of him mishandling a steelhead on the same system caused uproar on here and another site.
While I dont support poachers and snaggers, many who fish without a float at the cable pool are simply new, inexperienced and lack the knowledge and expertise many of you guys are gifted with. although its hard to change those habits of people who are well aware that what they are doing is unethical/illegal but continue their ways anyways, i feel that guys like this just need to be shown the way in a polite, non-threatening way.
Use your discretion when out on the water with questionable anglers and offer friendly helpful hints whenever you can - that's my motto.
