Are All Yacht Men gentlemen

[razor2]

One time was not enough for this fella to mouth off at me.Now im no saint but when i see a punt coming in from a mark where i fish i will reel in my line and let them pass no problem nothing thought of it as i did Saturday evening.As he got out of his punt with his old doll about 20 years younger .He tied up the punt with about 20 feet of rope so it was all over the place as he walked to the pub .so i just pulled it out of the way because he didn't care where it went but he knew it was in the way of my fishing and there was plenty of room to park it else where.But before i knew what was going on here he is back, with the what your f-ing problem .Dont you dare touch that he says to me, my son was with me so i was thinking take it handy and we had some very heated words.So went back today and here is the boy in the punt and again i started to reel in the lines he could see them,what did he do just drove sailed i dont know what you call it, ripped the hole lot of the braid off the reel just doing the prick even my young fella said what an arse hole.Now he was well out of order, but i know a good few lads who have boats here and they said some think they owned the place where is a little bit of courtesy gone

Its obviously gone 2 the DOGS.
Ur a better man than me, Son or no Son, u wouldnt have dug me out of him with a JCB!lol
But my fuse is extremely short with out of order people like that

Yep their just like golfie people except they conduct their snobbish arseholery at sea,but not all golf people are the posh Idiot type though ( don't want to offend the decent lads,but we all know the type I'm on about)

Fair play for not losing the head you represent thousands of anglers he is the one giving yacths men a bad name.

To be fair they not all wankers ..sorry...i met one fella the other day who had just sailed around the world a sound man he had just come from the Med and could not do enough to not get in the way of the fishing a sound fella

...He tied up the punt with about 20 feet of rope so it was all over the place...

Tut Tut... Very careless...
I do hope the rope doesn't get covered with jellyfish "tentacles"...

Argh your not serious.......the first time was bad enough....but for the muppet to do it again ....i wouldnt have held back. There's no need for it and to act the big man in front of his little ho' aint on. I would have lost the plot .....first time when i was there i told ya that.....second time......live bait the fecker.

Did ya get anything this time?

jesus thats mad wha ray?
he's a lucky boy your small fella was there...tis sad but true some lads think they own the tide and fish and all got to do with it.
fair play to ya boy for keeping the cool and not flattening the f**ker...i woulda let the punt off with the current

It would have been terrible if you had a bad cast and sent a 6oz lead thru his punt. Or worse if you dropped your knife and it hit his rope:-):-)

obviously he has had a bang of a 12oz er we have a fairly narrow channel coming in and out of howth harbour. and i dont think iv ever snagged someones line.and thats with up to 50 lads fishing in a small area i think next time you go down dont bring the kids take note of his boat and report him to the yacht club and more importantly the harbourmaster they dont tolerate assholes useing there clubs or harbours.and i think you will find they will put a stop to this gobshites bad manners

I was not there so I can only guess . But when he snagged your line, did the tip of your very expensive rod not break ? If it did he would be guilty of wilfull damage, and would be responsible for replacing it. But as I said, I was not there and can only guess.

As you might have guessed from my username, I like my sailing as well as my fishing, although my sailing is done in an old 22 footer that cost less than a set of tyres for a range rover . Being honest, the amount of snobby pr!cks you meet takes the craic out of it sometimes. My definition of gentleman involves courtesy and common decency and has feck all to do with expensive boats, cars and other shiny status symbols. I think its brilliant to see anyone making use of the water and I think we should all be encouraging each other. Fair play to ya for keeping cool with the 'c##t in the punt'
