First things first, I live in Canada, I understand we are a multicultural society, and I am not racist by any means but...
I went fishing today. And it was going to be a good day. Packed light, just my car, auger, two marmish rods, wire worms, maggots and coffee. I headed out to Lac Ste Anne, looking to catch myself a few last day whitefish. I got out to the lake, and picked my spot, and drilled a hole right beside my car as I planned to fish right from my seat with just a blanket over my head to see as I was only fishing about 3-4 feet deep. As soon as I was set up a minivan came and parked about 50 feet away, and every seat was full. Out piled 8 Asians. No big deal, i kind of laughed, and went back to fishing. They drilled what seemed like a ton of holes (wasn't watching) and set up fishing. I went to have a sip of coffee and look and they had a huge tent set up and there was only one guy outside drilling holes still. And he kept getting closer with his auger. Getting annoyed I covered my head back up and went back to fishing. Another hole he drilled. And another. And another. And he was getting very VERY close. All of a sudden he started drilling another hole, and he was so close to me sitting in the seat of my car with my door open that the wind was throwing snow and ice into me. I threw the blanket off and he was less than 10 feet away. I started yelling at him and just got a blank stare. Then he continued to drill his hole. Even my dog was looking at him like he was retarded. I got up, walked the three steps too him and he just stated at me. I exploded. Couldn't handle it. How rude can you be? Do you need to fish ten feet away?!
Then the karma...
The wind decided this would be a perfect time to send their tent flying off their "holes" and send it tumbling across the lake. What I had missed while they were setting up was that they had drilled about a dozen holes side by side and had a huge hole in the middle of the tent. And there were seven Asians looking at me, three with long lines and big thin hooks all the way down it, three with a ten gallon pail of what I assume was chum of some sort, and the other started after the tent. Well since I was already in a half a rage I just pulled out my phone and called fish and wildlife. Explained what I was watching. Know what my answer was "we'll see about looking into it"
ARE YOU JOKING ME?!
These idiots are out baiting and snagging sportfish (with or without licenses, I don't care), and you're going to "look into it"?!
I packed my gear and headed home almost in tears I was so angry.
We wonder why fishing sucks now, why things are getting more expensive an more lakes are being closed, smaller catch limits on species. This is why.
I'm gonna go beat the crap out of a pillow now...
