[QUOTE="KDM, post: 186733, member: 314"] Keeping ones temper in check is extremely important here. They were clearly in the wrong and as such it would be difficult for me to keep my temper in check, but this is what I would have done. I would have taken out my phone and started to video them when they were casting toward me and narrating the video as to who was casting and where the casts were landing. I'd let the guys know I was taking the video and that the video would be used at their trial while letting them know I was not breaking any laws being where I was and asking them to stop. I would have had another guy in the boat call the sheriff and have them send a car as we was being assaulted by shore fishermen with hooks and lead weights and were preparing to defend ourselves. When the deputies arrived, I would have emailed the video to my home, made contact with the deputies, handed over my phone for them to view, and identified the assailants. I would have also mentioned that my depth finder has a gps plotter that clearly shows the location of the boat when I was assaulted and that I was NOT violating any posted signs or laws at the time of the incident and they were more than welcome to see that as well and let the deputies take it from there. Modern technology negates many of the situations that previously required physical confrontations and can provide mountains of evidence in such instances that can prove useful in preventing such events in the future. I think watching these guys being taken away for assault would not only be justice, but poetic justice. Glad you kept your cool. Fishing is supposed to be fun. [/QUOTE]
