I do look forward to duck season and school starting. It gets the majority off the coast. Not sure why but these guys seem to fish for 3 months of the year then they park those 80k rigs until May. I fish pretty much all year.

The only thing worse than the "weekend warriors" are the guides who own the water. (Present company excluded). Ive actually heard some of them brag about pushing people off oyster beds or spots by the islands because they belive it is their right since it's how they make a living. If anyone should know better and have respect it's a professional.

The solution for me has been to avoid the obvious spots and the weekends with the most traffic. If ya can't hang with that sell your sled and plant petunias.
This. Duck season is a God-send. I pray the limits stay at six, guys have at least one good hunt the first week to keep them going and those yahoos keep getting on TV and painting faces.
