maybe the Fox siblings should fish in their own fishing holes rather than the same

Dad’s never right. Sounds familiar.

They won’t catch anything if they are having a roe.

Try getting further away from each other.

There is place in VA Beach called Rudy Inlet where you can fish for flounder. One side is on the rocky shore and the other on a dock off the street. One day I got a good tug and started reeling in, all of a sudden I see my line suspended in air attached to a line across the way. One of us reeled out and the other reeled in to untangle. It was very crowded much of the time.

Just by looking at the first two panels you can easily tell that they’ve caught each other’s lines.

The beach is just as bad. Some idiot whipped his hook so far back on the beach when he was throwing it that it landed among his own kids and hooked my golden retriever in her nose. I was so mad for my dog and those kids I wanted to strangle that idiot. Another one hooked me in the calf when I was in the surf. (I was there first.) He started reeling me in, and I began to scream, but he pulled harder. I ended up having to grab the line and holding it up before he figured out what he was doing.
