I've seen the beachfront look like a used boat lot at times @ Elmer's island, Fourchon, and GI (esp. the State Park rocks). There will only be feet (or inches) dividing boats and waders. When the boats see the waders on fish, they will creep right on you and then spook the fish you were catching. When you can have a conversation w/ a boat full of people w/o shouting, then you know they're too close. I've had to let them have a piece of my mind once or twice too. When lead jigheads or flying treble hooks star banging their boats, they get the message. If they want some, then they can come get some. Don't pot lick me. It is funny when you see them stuck on a sand bar.
If I'm in a boat in the surf, then I will respect a surf fisherman's right esp. because of their limited access. I know it hurts to see someone catch fish and you can't get on em. I've been there both ways. But c'mon, give me some space!!
