You own nothing in the public realm - it belongs to all of us and none of us at the very same time  The old golden rule applies here - just treat other people like you would wish to be treated.
I would walk over, introduce myself and let them know the hot lure from yesterday and offer any tips that I had, then move on and find another spot to fish. Who knows - maybe you find a new fishin' buddy out of the the deal?
Society is getting too focused on the legalities and technicalities. Just be a decent person, consider your fellow sportsman and you don't run into issues out there. Be kind and help a guy out, it all comes back around in the end. |
That's the problem too many ****heads and new fisherman that don't give a crap/respect for anyone else these days. I always give more than enough space to others on the ice. I cannot fathom someone coming close enough to fish my own drilled, empty holes that I may or not be using. Never happened in all my 25 years of fishing, but if it did, I would lose my mind.
