Your being intolerant in an elitest sort of way.

These people are causing you no harm. They are fishing. I see far more
people fishing than I see kayaking. I usually find them to be very
friendly and happy people. I have had interesting conversations
pertaining to the location of alligators, snakes, fish, birds and other
wildlife. We are in the outdoors together, lets not be kayak snobs.

You think your sport is better than their's?

Ask yourself this, what happens when fisherman no longer tolerate
kayaking? Remember there are more fisherman than kayakers.
What happens when homeowners decided they no longer can tolerate silent
spying kayakers peering into their backyards?
What happens when environmentalists become concerned that you may
disturb nesting birds? I actually heard an "environmentalist" state
that kayaks disturb birds because she saw a bird fly as a kayak
approached. She seemed to imply that disturbance equalled harm. I told
her how I spotted a bird at 100x through my C-5 get disturbed by a
gentle breeze and if she was in favor of banning wind. I never got an
answer.
What happens when the state becomes concerned that too many kayakers are
drowing on certain sections of rivers, so no selfish kayakers can kayak
anywhere on the river?
What happens when hunters decide to buy land and deny access to it
because they are denied access to public land?
What happens when environmentalist decide to buy land and deny access to
it because they cannot have their way with public land?

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Your rights stop where my freedom begins. And Vice Versa.

I know its hard sometimes. I hate Jet Ski's and Cigarette boats. They
have their places, we have ours. Leave them alone. Besides, one day I
may try one out for a couple of hours.

Fishing. Everywhere, more anglers and more fishing line. Not only do I
need to worry about not hitting their lines or "getting too close" to them,
but I also find my paddle and occasionally my rudder fouled by old discarded
fishing line. Everywhere.

Oh, and when they're about to cast, they look impatient while I pass by. As
if that 10 seconds extra time for me to pass is going to cost them the "big
catch of the day". A few of the more ignorant ones don't even care - they
just cast off anyway.

This is the case with ALL of the rivers and smaller lakes nearby. I'm
beginning to wonder which is worse: jetski's or anglers...
