Rockport Fishing Guide Rant

[Martin]

Me and a buddy were in Port A a few years ago flounder gigging one night. I was walking along minding my business and one of these complete A Holes came up on me from behind in his airboat and his bright lights. I stood my ground but he went around me and then cut back I front of me about 10 feet. Then throttled up and almost blew me over. I said a few "very nice things" about his mother and such but he couldn't hear me. Same thing. Looked like he had a "client" on the boat. I just hate rudeness."

There is a real good chance I was in that boat that night. The flounder guide we had in Port A called the giggers on foot "stompers" and continually ran right up behind them, went around and cut right back in front of them. I commented to him that this was pretty rude and looked like a way to get himself some trouble. He looked at me like I had 3 eyeballs. I guess it never occurred to him that the stompers had as much right out there as he did.

Yep Back in the day we'd handle these situations ourselves. Dularge, Cocodrie those idiots were all over...... Today it will get you in jail............................

Yep, the pickets have taught me patience and that I would rather just go bowfish in the ponds.
