So went sheepshead fishing yesterday Christmas Eve. I was working the south bound side if the West Ashley memorial bridge aka 17 south when I heard a cackle from behind me. I looked up and there she was a troll smoking a cigarette outside the bridge tower. At first I wasn’t sure what she wanted then it became apparent she was waving me off the bridge. I motor over to where I could hear her. This disgusting example of a bitter old ***** with nothing better to do with her life except bother me on Christmas eve was cackling " you ain’t anchoring on my bridge while she flicks a cigarette in our river." Needless to say I was really pissed but rather than start something on Xmas eve I just wished her a merry christmas and moved locations.
Pretty weird. But did you catch a fish?
Were you tied up to the bridge or anchored and just close? I’ve always wondered why I don’t see more people fishing there.
You should of told her to call’em and that you would wait for the proper authorities to handle it. No one would of came it was Christmas eve and you were doing nothing wrong, that troll was probably drinking too, pretty common amongst bridge operators. The one on the wapoo bridge got fired this year for drinking on the job this summer and issued a statement that it is common. I guess your more mild mannered than me because of depending how she talked to me I would have made her day ****. As awful as this sounds I would of gave her an ear full and then told her happy holidays and kept fishing. I’m good with words, she wouldn’t of had a happy holidays, and sitting in that little room she would of thought about what I said until she went home and displaced her anger. Would I of been proud or satisfied no but some people need to be treated how they treat others. Her bridge and the cigarette thrown in the water probably would of set me off, especially if the cigarette was like the exclamation point on the sentence, you aint anchoring on my bridge, ■■■■■. I hate people who think they are better than what they are if you litter you are a piece of ****, who will do what you can get away with and you lack good morals. She probably thought she was laying down the law; the lingo, the smoking/littering, this lady sounds disgusting, I sure hope I never have a run in with her.
Haha! Go back with an I pilot! That’ll show her.
