Casting Near Boats and Docks

Most fishermen will be respectful. I do fish docks, and stay away from boats and trampolines. I never fish near people swimming. Also, we skip over areas where people obviously have swimming areas. Once and a while, we get hooked on a dock, line, or structure. We have gone on docks to remove our hooks. I think it would be worse to leave them than to go get them. If we treat each-other with respect, we can all benefit.

This thread is creeping me out talking about fishing near where people swim. See I got caught in the neck with a hook by my husband many years ago while out on our little 2 person Coleman boat. I have some issues as a result of it and cannot be near anyone fishing.....period. It was a small lure, but was caught so far in that I had to go to the hospital to have it removed, the barb part was all the way thru. About 1 inch from my jugular vein.

Now when I'm out walking my dog and people are fishing in the brook near my house, I'll move to the other side of the street. And if hubby wants to go fishing on the boat, I'll be at the other end. It kind of stinks becuase I did enjoy fishing.
