This is a great thread. An alternative title could be "Why Keg wants a pond". I hardly fish in New York anymore because for me it just isn't fun in a crowd.

Last year I'm casting for fluke on Long Island and land a keeper. Five minutes later there are a couple of other people casting right on top of me, tangling lines, etc. It's frosting my petunias until one guy doesn't see the powerboat cruising down the channel and sets his pole down... splash... dang, what a shame.

Around here, fresh water is a bit better than salt - there are some electric-only (or low HP) lakes which at least keeps it a little quieter than NASCAR. Long term, my only hope is to become a pond boss!
