Wow thats crazy. I always have my pistol(s) in the boat. Fishing does crazy things to already crazy people. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it

Glad you didn't wind up with the fishes

Glad everything worked out. And you got to give him the ol' 1,2. So he just randomly started shooting? There were no exchange of words prior?

That is crazy. Glad you're alright and got to lay the POS out. This just goes to show that guns, liquor, and fishing the lights don't mix!

Was there ever a motive on what set him off?

This brings up another question. What's up with people being such cry babies about people fishing by their lights.
If no one is on the dock and they left them on and you don't get all up on their dock what it's the problem ?
If it was mine and I wasn't fishing them I wouldn't care. I've heard of many people that got chewed out and threatened to have police called.
Pretty sure the cops can't do anything about people fishing a public lake.

I had this argument with my buddy who has a camp in Hackberry. He says he leaves his lights on to get the fish used to going there at night. He can control his lights with his iphone and will turn them on 2 or 3 nights before he goes to his camp so the fish will be there when he gets there. He also doesn't want anyone stealing his fish. I asked him "so you train your trout"? His response was "its like decoys in front of your duck blind, you don't want someone hunting your blind". I told him it was pretty much like a duck blind at wax lake, if you don't want some one hunting your decoys pick them up. If you don't want someone fishing under your lights, turn them off. He's an idiot, I love him but he truly is a moron. I assume there could be other reasons people why get mad about this, but the common tread among all of them is stupidity. That being said, if there are people fishing from the dock that is lighted you should not be fishing there without their blessing.

That's about what I thought.
It's not like that one group of fish is the same one night after night.
If you got someone all up in your biz while you trying to fish your lights then you have a 100% legitimate gripe.

I don't fish light out if a boat very much but one night last summer me and 3 buddies trolled out about midnight to fish .. (Been drinking and having good time )

About the 3rd set we started hitting them good and the people on wharf were not catching like us so we trolled over and gave them some light jig heads and baits
They started catching real good .

We trolled over two wharfs down just to try those lights and soon as we made one cast the guy starts yelling that we can't fish his lights
Buddy says turn em off then , guy said we are fishing ,this is my "Dads " lights and our fish

Knew we had a frat boy ... Cranked up and plowed the bottom in front of "his dad's wharf" till it was soild mud

Then said real nice !! Might be your lights but this is my garden and I wanted to plow it


Trolled back over to other set and started catching with other people who gave us more beer


Never talk crap to the guy in the boat who can fish other spots and can make yours go from great to finished in matter of minutes

I worked on an inland barge this summer in Timbalier Bay. It moved about every two weeks. Tugs with barges in and out all night, crew boats, noise, six foot swells, you name it. Once the tide started moving they came to the light like children of the corn. TTF Little Speck killers has no equal when it comes to catching trout under the lights.

:rotfl:

Lmao

Figure 8 that bish! !

It was probably best thing I saw all year !

We were in my buddies boat with a 250 and his prop was eating nothing but oysters lmao

Never saw so much mud and rock fly !!!

Stainless Steal props are the **** !!


Those dudes were speechless and just watched !! If any fish were left it was because they were dead

Too much booze is all. I was 100+ yards from the dock he was shooting from. Couldn't cast to "his fish" if I wanted to.

Hard to imagine him coming out unarmed-but definately good for you. About how old was he?

My 12 yr old son asked me the other day If "Im packin heat every place I go?" and I told him YES EVERYPLACE, and its for this stupid reason right there! who would think out on the lake you need to protect yourself. on the boat my gun is in the glove box, don't want it falling over board as Im scooping up a fish.

My son is my fishin buddy, and if that happen to me with my son, that would be one dead SOB.

glad your ok!! Whew! "Im packing everyplace" its the world we live in.............

That's why I pack when I'm in the Yak!!

Yak'n & Pak'n.......... Sounds like something you'd see next to a Salt Life sticker on the back glass of a jacked up truck at Academy! :rotfl:

LOL, good one.

Or a pornographic movie
