1) fishermen who break off and dont make an effort at retrieving as much of their broken off line as possible
2) People who dont know the ethics of launching; turn your headlights off when launching, dont pull up to the ramp and then take 20 minutes to get your gear ready, on a double ramp dont back down such that youve taken both lanes, when you drop your buddy off to get the truck, move out of the way so others can do the same, etc., etc.
3) people with exspensive boats who think that because you have a small boat, they can intrude any way they want to (I came so close to hitting an FLW person in the head with an osprey at Clear Lake that it wasnt even funny, the only thing that saved him was that during my back sweep to the cast he turned and talked to me, he was 0.5 seconds away from a serious bonk on the head)
4) people who litter
5) people who sensationalize the dangers associated with wildlife (check the ncbf reports for coyote)
6) fishermen who dont understand the concept of selctive harvest
