THROW ’EM OFF THE TRAIL

A friend renowned for his fishing success finds he is often followed when he leaves the dock by anglers hoping to share his success. He prefers to fish alone, so he developed a tactic to lose the admirers. He performs evasive maneuvers to increase the distance between himself and his pursuers, then when temporarily in the clear, he slows the boat, crushes a bag of chips, and dumps them overboard before racing off. The oil slick and chip crumbs quickly attract a crowd of birds, which draws the other anglers in to investigate while he makes his getaway.
