First of all I think this is a good topic to discuss because it should lead to us all being more conscious of other people on the ice or water.
Secondly kids can be as annoying as untrained dogs. However, I personally have never had a bad encounter with kids other than my own. [laugh] My kids have stepped on rods, broken lines, tangled lines, stuck hooks in themselves, stuck hooks in me, kicked dirt in reels, thrown rocks in my favorite holes etc..., but I use those situations as learning experiences and to my knowledge they have never harassed anyone else.
We can all make life more enjoyable if we would just keep our cool when an ill behaved dog or child approaches us. In my experience most dog owners come take care of the problem. There are some who just yell at their dogs all day from across the ice, but for the most part the situation is handled quickly and apologies are offered.
