Some Guys Just Have No Couth

That was the unmistakable take-away from an incident my friend, Doc, experienced on the water today.

He just had launched at West Neck and was fishing at the bridge when three dudes anchored their boat right on top of the spot where he just had caught a fish. Being the nice guy that he is, rather than say something, Doc moved on and let them have the spot to themselves.

Before he ended his abbreviated day on the water, Doc went on to catch the 1.4-lb., 14-inch bass in the accompanying photo. Both fish came on crankbaits.

The water was low today, following yesterday's northeast winds, but Doc knew it likely would be that way because he had scouted things out at the marina yesterday.

Said my friend, "I'll be going out again Tuesday if there's good weather." Hopefully, Doc, you won't have to put up with any rude dudes again. With all the water there is in West Neck, there's no excuse for that kind of behavior--ever!
