Why?

I live in a nice subdivision (it used to be, at least) and like fishing ponds nearby, bike riding, etc. and in the past couple days I've gotten yelled at by three random strangers for no reason, plus had a car try to run me over on my bike. I was fishing a pond nearby earlier and some guy in the ugliest purple car I've ever seen slows down, screams "you ain't gonna catch ****", and drives away. (I caught a 3~ pounder with a gizzard shad in it's mouth right after he drove away ?) What in the heck is wrong with these people? Sorry for the rant, but I'm just sick of this.

I have encountered several people like you described and the best thing you can do is ignore them and do not talk to them. These are sad, pathetic people who have nothing better to do than to bother a person fishing. All we can do is adapt since we will be seeing more negative behavior as the population keeps growing.
