Back in my younger days, I would fish off the bank at the dam below Penndleton. Would get up there before daylight. Would be myself and a few others at this time of day. Everyone respected each others "space". Around 7:30, people would start pouring in and next thing you know, things would get pretty crowded. No problem with this. It is public fishing area. However, when it got elbow to elbow, with people casting across your line on purpose, it was time to leave. It seems that the people that arrived early like myself would leave at the same time. I had one experience where an individual walked up behind me and started casting over my shoulder. I do not care where or how you were raised, this is extremely bad manners.
