Ocean Ettiquete gone to "Kaos"
Normally i keep my mouth shut on these issues, but Saturday morning i had it happen to me, and i'm gonna speak up.
Fishing out at Hall Bank Saturday morning, been at anchor for over an hour, about 10m off the reef, when a big stinker, "Khaos" or "Kaos" decides to anchor up a good 100m away and puts up a dive flag. A couple of divers hit the water, swim around for a bit, before coming underneath me, and cruising around in a close radius directly under my anchored yak for a good 10-15mins before i decided to move, as all fish had bailed, and i was sitting in a fishlless spa bath with a bubble pool all around me.
Now i had an anchor line down, and a suspended berley pot a meter or so above the bottom, also was banging on my hull with a knife butt while yelling obcenities at these guys, so don't give me the "we didnt see you" bull$hit..
I went over to the boat and explained a lesson in ettiquite may be required. You gauys are wanker$, honestly, its a big ocean out there, get a frikken brain.

Albee it seems
people just don't care about anybody else any more its just not the water its on the roads, in the supermarkets etc. I can't understand their tunnel vision for life, stuff you jacket I'm alright. After all this hope you got a fish.
Just told Bob and he said get a couple of 4lb sinkers with some nice juicie sized hooks maybe gang hooks or two 7 0's on them and drop them and have some fun, just a thought, watch them come up then. Nasty, nasty, but I bet you'll get their attention

UP GRADE
Up grade that old yak for one of those fancy ones the the S.A.S use. The ones with the mini torpedoes and depth charges that will fix the bastads. Its almost as bad as pinching some ones drink .
totaly outrageous,dispickable and just plain rude.

Same same
happened to myself, my brother and his mate on the North Mole - 2 divers actually tangling in our lines - the brothers mate explained the risk by dropping a large lump of limestone directly over their heads. Worked well.

The only thing i can think
The only thing i can think off is they lost there bearing and came across an area full of fish and thought you beauty,they might have been new divers as well,,,what did the skipper of the boat say about it ?

Nah Thats just a BS excuse
They would see the anchor line, burley pot, my yak on the surface, and heard me banging on the hull.
Skipper said, "No worries Mate".... took it pretty well really. Considering.
Ruined a good session for me, ignoramusfknretardus.

Had that Happen
to me many a year ago at the Tubes in Jervis Bay NSW , the boat in question got the general idea to f*&k O%f when he copped a WK Iron through the front windscreen, some people have no idea and makes you wonder how there family line has managed to survive this long in the gene pool.
Just one more cast , honest !!!
