Scat Cat

A couple of my buddies decided to head out Saturday, we didn't leave the slip until 9:00 am, we decided to head out to a spot I have at 26 or so miles and try to catch some grouper, then head in to a state spot and fill-up on snapper. Seas were great, 2-3 with 7-8 seconds, nice rollers, so we proceeded to the spot as planned at 25+ mph. As we got to within 4-5 miles I notices a large boat already there, and as we got closer I noticed it was the Scat Cat out of Port A Fisherman's Wharf. Well with the price of gas and no other spot I have in my GPS to fish, I decided to stay well off them and see if there was anything else off the mark. We tried several passed behind and all around them staying 500 yards or more with no luck. I then noticed they were anchored and setup a drift on their port side, still 100 yards or more when one of the deckhands yelled "there is other spots in the gulf to fish." I just ignored him when a few minutes later another deckhand yells "if you come any closer I will start throwing lead." This went on for about the next 30 minutes, exchanging words back and forth, at one point and older lady and her male friend started to flip us the bird. Now this is not the first time I had problems with the Scat Cat, 5 or 6 years ago they tried to physically run me off a spot, my teenage son at the time was fearful of his life. I know the whole pot-licking deal, like I said earlier I drove 26 miles to fish this obviously known spot and was treated like **** from a freaking head boat. Oh, let's not forget the trail of dead red snappers they left in their wake!
