Now when they leave it's no big deal & fair game too.
I used the wait it out technique a few weeks ago and got some excellent advice about an area/spot that I was wanting to fish.

I setup on a ledge that has a "few" good spots on it. While on that ledge, someone pulled up behind on a spot that I had marked and passed, planning on fishing back to it. Did I gripe or complain about it. NOPE. IT is a common ledge, and he laid up in a different area.

Since I'm crazy new to ledge fishing, and this guy knew a little more than I did, I chatted him up. Anyone that knows me knows I can talk to a tree, and probably get answers .

At any rate, I learned a whole lot in 10-15 minutes of conversation. Probably a day or 2 of searching......

Now, not all encounters will go that way, and I've had some that are a whole lot different then that..

Later,
