Beach Fishermen conflict

   Bastards!!

You should have gone ashore and given them a piece of your mind mate!!
Happily I don't sail on a pond and have only ever had that problem at
some inland open meetings.  I'm don't think there's any obligation
to either of you to keep clear but generally both try to aviod each
other if possible but I know what I would have done if they started
lobbing rocks at my boat!!!

	During our club races this Sunday, Beating against tide, most sailors choosing the tack close to the shore (30yds approx), needless to say some beach fishermen lost tackle. Before we know whats happened they are throwing rocks at us, one fisherman cast at us and managed to hit a Laser rig, if that weight had hit the helm in the head it would have killed him. Anyone else had this experience???? who is obliged to avoid who????
