I've heard that sound before fishing over in LA. Not cool at all. We did the same as yall and booked it out of there

I have always feared the kinda people and always have a gun with me for these reasons... don't point a gun at me unless you are ready for war.

Is it worth dying or killing someone else over a fishing spot to you?

Not worth it to me. It would piss me off badly but I think wisdom says live to find another avenue to fix this situation.

So when being assaulted with a deadly weapon (someone pointing a gun at you), what is your other avenue to "fix the situation?" Have a nice cordial conversation with said person pointing the gun at you?

If someone is pointing a gun at me, I'm going to assume they have intent on causing me (or someone with me) deadly harm.
Its not about a fishing spot at that point.

I'm not defending either position, but I've had a gun pointed at me while fishing, and, had plenty of firepower to respond. Under the 315 bridge in Flat Creek on Palestine, Twin Oaks West, Sand Jack Road. He was a spun out meth head, I had hooked some loose line next to their boat house with my crankbait and was pulled up untangling it. He was a good 50 yards away and I doubt he'd have hit me if he shot, he had the gangster grip... lol.

I got my crankbait unhooked and off we went. If he'd shot, I'd have shot back. I have that in my boat for just that reason. There's no way I'd have ran out of there on plane.

He came out of the shed on the left and ran to a trailer on the right, then came out of the trailer and walked about 50' towards the pier.

Find someone in law enforcement that loves to fish and take them with you next time.

I got shot at on Lake Worth once while bowfishing from an airboat several years ago. Saw the dude do it lol. It was also a .22, and could hear the zings. It was at night and he was in a trashy red and white deck boat being pulled by a white van. Not a mini van, like rape van haha. Sketchy dude. 820 ramp. He started by throwing wakes at us and yelling. Then he loaded his boat while we were at the reeds. His rig stayed parked in the lot and we could see it running. About 10 mins later the shots came from the woods just east of the ramp. probably 150 yard shot but i heard the zing from the second shot over the prop haha. Called the law. They said "it sounds like you shouldn't be running an airboat or bowfishing on Lake Worth anymore." Haha 10-4 bud. I understand people hate airboats, but what in the meth is that about?

If someone ever pulls a gun on me they better use it because I PROMISE I will. the only place I ever go without my firearm is work because I can't carry inside the plant. I frequently fish a place where I've had to grab my pistol off my hip in preemptive measure of potentially needing it. Never got that far but with people nowadays you HAVE to protect yourself.

ONLY if I have the upper hand and can responsibly place the shot.

A "shoot till you connect" gunfight at longer distance isn't my idea of a good time. And I know what my abilities are, but from an unsteady boat?

Far easier to walk away and let the authorities handle it if you can.
