I would tell him to buy an umbrella and tend his pole.
But then, I can be an arse sometimes!
Seriously. I don't fish from a boat. If I left my pole out on it's own, I wouldn't expect anyone to keep an eye out for it. I'd rather you were keeping an eye out for people in the water.
I'd be cranky about it, sure. But I would know it was my own dang fault for leaving my pole out there, and not making it obvious that there was a line in the water, which is best done by doing a fisherman's JOB: attending your pole.
