Is it wrong?

[Dave Stewart]

Well mr Stewart I am not doing anything "wrong". I mainly just want to see others reactions on these situation, since this is constantly happened every trip on the water I was thinking I might be missing something in the "Fishermans Code of Ethics" book. i am going to stick with my standards and just hope that others will start to do so also. It can be very frusterating at times but it is everywhere I go. And judging by all the other comments looks like it's a 50-50 tie between how people handle and react! Not once have I

Well Mr Moon...what I got from your post was that you were asking if you should continue to practice the Golden Rule...which is basically what you have been doing or should you go ahead and just start doing to others what you are complaining that they are doing to you. Hence my answer. I only saw one person on this thread that thought it was ok for folks to do this...definitely different reactions to how they would handle it but the consensus is overwhelming that moving in on where someone else is fishing is not ethical. Sorry if I took your post the wrong way...that is just how I read it. For myself, if the only way I think I could catch a fish is move in on someone else's spot, then I would rather quit fishing.

I took it the wrong way. But no I do not want to do that and be the root of someone else' problem. I agree with you 100% even the days that I do not catch any I still will not move in on another boat, it's part of it I put in as much time as I can trying to find them and get a pattern which makes me think I know somewhat what I am doing. I know these problems will never end just hoping they will. Reading over it again I was out of line saying that to you and apologize!

No problem...when we read opinions etc on a discussion board, three people can sometimes read the same thing and take it three different ways...we all do it sometimes, including me. Anyway, I think we are on the same track for sure.
