I am a Avid Surf fisherman, was on the Beach After local Bathing hours were over.5:30–6PM I see this little Woman (5′3″ and about 75 YO making her way toward me from about a block away where her husband is standing. We are the only three people for about 4 blocks either way. when she finally gets to me her first comment is “is there not a Fishing Only beach in Town?” well no there is not. she then went on a tiriad about kids swimming and dogs and hooks in the sand! When she finally wound down I asked her if she lived in our area? no I am from Florida here visiting family. I then told her I am from this area and pay quite a bit in local taxes so she should go back to Florida and complain to someone there. I averaged about 200 days a year beach fishing back then, and she was the ONLY person ever to give me a problem. as a add on as I said she was only a little over 5 ft tall, might have weighed 100# WET! her skin looked like baked leather. I guess her beach in Florida is private.

I am usually polite to people and have been known to hand my rods to kids walking by to land fish, and gave them a little info on what ever they landed.
