Daughter just sent me a this pic. Thought it was funny. First big fish strike and there is going to be alcohol abuse.

I think it's only to be used when fighting a fish , You can't just set you beer in the sand that's not safe

Nice to see guys that know to set their spikes close to the wash and not at the high tide line.
Public service announcement: if you have pedestrians, or even vehicles, passing by under your line, youre to far from the water.

I wonder if those spikes are capable of holding ALUMINUM beer cans or just glass?

if you're fishing with a spike you're doing it wrong <3

Yep levellinebrad when youre spiking it you gotta move with the tide.
I see people spiked at the high tide line and at low tide they dont even bother walking down to the water to retreive the fish. They just crank him up across 40 yards of dry sand.

I normally do spike at the water but I never knew that it was fishing etiquette. There have been a few times that I spiked high but I have never drug a fish across the beach.

 

[mdsurffishing]

spike them high! keep'em tight you'll add feet to the height of your rod to get it over the breakers

I guess someone should tell the pedestrians also. I can't tell you how many times I've been at the waters edge and have people walking in the water and almost walk into the line.

 

[1BadF350]

You guys gotta manage the area directly around you. Spike with common sense and dont be a bunch of beta males letting people walk thru your sh!t.
If you spike so high on the beach "to get it over the breakers" that vehicles can drive under it youre doing it wrong! Hell why not park at the dune line and spike it in the rod rack on your truck. Tourists do stupid stuff like that and i expect better from you.

I have more problems with the wind surfers, surfers, kayakers and paddle boarders. Most people see the big truck and the rods and stop by to check out the setup and see what we have caught. Never had a vehicle go between us and the water it really depends on the beach your fishing.

Digger - That looks like a piss tube to me !
First big Jarhead that walks by gonna let it flow and warm up that rod handle.

I also seem to have issues with the wind surfers. My wife and I were fishing assateague last year. We set up a few lines and all of a sudden I see a group of wind surfers walk down the beach towards us and set up camp. So I go over and remind them that I had lines out in the water and that it would be courteous of them to move down the beach some. Well I was ignored and a short time later they were out in front of my lines. I yell out to give them one more warning and I was once again ignored. So I grabbed me heaver out of my spike and waited for one of the SOB to come close. And he did so I lowered my rod tip and waited for him to get right in front of me and I set the hell out of the hook and clotheslined his a$$ right off his board. I can guarantee he doesn't windsurf next to someone that was already set up on the beach.

Nice, documenting your assault.
