I hear the cops got called about a fight on the water Sunday. Anyone hear anything about this?

Prolly some potlickers in turners lol

Evis,
would this be the first time you've ever heard of a fight on the water?
Just curious

Yes..it was on Comm pt..3 guys beat the S... Out of two guys and left them laying in there boat....

Do we know any of the people involved?

Plus 1

All I know is some dude cut some dudes drift ......fishing is serious business ...that's why no one should go for 3 months

wow

Awesome. That's why I pack heat

So you get chilly when your drift gets cut???

Yep .40 degrees

Wonder how it started :confused::confused:

sammich

Figure 8s

How About ______ U . No _____U. Could very easily escalated from there. Can u imagine one day hearing some one popped a cap on another fisherman over a fish. Then what?

I am afraid this is going to happen at some point Mr. E.

Hope it never comes to that

X2, no doubt.

Trout fisherman are nuts

LMAO!!

To be honest it is the first confirmed fist fight on the water I have heard of. I really hope it's the last, all we need is sheriffs slow rolling around the lake like they do at Contraband.

Let's see W cut figure 8s around a sheriff for cutting his drift off or getting to close.

Figure 8's is the new finger

Can we have a figure 8 video demonstration?

Lmao...dude that is crazy. I wonder who was involved???

They seeze me trollin,theyz hatin,tryn to catch me ridin dirty.

Exactly my thoughts. People think they own the lake. Maybe we should go to a Lottery so there won't be too many people on the lake! Come on people it's just fish.

This is all a natural progression of aggressive behavior. Once it becomes "ok" to run a figure 8 around someone's boat and take it to that level there will always be a guy out there that is not willing to back down and takes exception to another person's aggressive acts. I have heard many people on this site talk about casting top water lures into someone's boat, running circles around them, etc... While some people may be the passive type and back down, there are a great number of people out there with perhaps nothing to lose (or significant power) that will absolutely stand up for themselves in all situations. I am constantly embarrassed by some of the comments that I see on here.

Until we get back to fishing for fun and relaxing on the water instead of constantly expecting and anticipating the next "pilgrim" to cause you a problem these types of things will only get worse.

Just my opinion.

Well said and agree more than I can type. As aggravating as it is when someone shows no respect or courtesy on the water, I would never let it come down to figure 8s or climbing in someone else's boat and fighting with them. To me that puts you on there level which IS NO BETTER than what they did.

Agreed...with all the talk of throwing topwaters at people, figure 8's and whatever, I can't understand why butts aren't being kicked every weekend at the launch.

Well I take that back...I know why it doesn't happen. As kinchen said, most people have something to lose, so they aren't going to risk a lawsuit by straightening someone out.

Ive missed no mre than five weeks of fishing in 2 years....fished every season winter, summer, fall, and spring and the worst time for this is during the 3 month hype of birds and warm weather of your summer months...if you get a drift cutter or ptlocker then move....i fish for fun and to fish against myself everytime....if it happens to me i find it a challenge to move and go find more on my own.....i take it that if you need to potlick or cut into someones drift to catch fish to me it means you just SUCK....jmo

I think most of the people that talk about doing these things just say it to say it but wont do it.I hate to say it but im sure some of the people on the water need an a**
Whooping but its not worth it. Even if I dont catch fish im happy just bein out there and there is just too much water out there to let it ruin my trip

If you don't show or tell a idiot what there doing wrong...they will never learn.......That's why I don't fish birds anymore unless its a group with zero boats around...just to many water and boat stupid people bottom line

I don't fish for fun....I do it for the sport and I don't like bad days....and I like catching fish and when a idiot messes me up because he is clueless and moron I will light him up....if I get shot on the water at least I died doing what I like!!!! Go out with your boots on!!!


You give a idiot a inch he takes a mile !!!! Stop idiots by letting them know and when they mess up you....wreck shop on the whole area where nobody catch fish



Peace out...I'm crabbing

Btw figure 8 has been working great during bird season

I don't really see how you running figure 8s by someone teaches them what they did wrong. Now if you trolled over to them and without threatening or cursing explained the issue then you be teaching them something. Then if they tell you to )))) yourself then you have to decide how you want to handle it.

It amazes me that you have publicly stated that you are willing to die over a fish. You have a family to think about, there are bigger things out there than a limit of trout.

At some point there will be repercussions for your actions, you probably just do not realize it yet. It might not be a fight or it could be. I might be these people you messed over seeing you on a reef by yourself catching fish when they decide to run a figure 8, what are you going to do then? It might be your truck without wheels when you get back to the landing. It could be a number of things and not all of them may deal with fishing and some may hit you in areas that you would have never suspected.

What I can tell you with certainty is that if you continue to have no patience with others and be the aggressor in all of these situations there will come a time that you regret your actions. Laugh about it, have your club W buddies respond to this thread about how you are above the law, whatever. I think you consider me a friend and I have no ill will towards you. For your own sake you need to chill man and I hope you do. I'm done with this thread.

You are a great fishermen and you have nothing to prove, go out and have fun and relax.

is it really a figure 8 or more like a figure 0?? where is the boat in question in relation to the 8?? seems like you are doing a extra "loop" when a figure 0 would sufice just fine ...unless there are 2 "moron" boats in question

Its a figure of speech....but all yall say... Fishing its just foe fun...

Well pay my boat note ,fuel bill ,boat insurance , repairs and then tell me how fun fishing really is

If your going fishing for fun..... That's fine but don't mess others who are fishing for more than just "FUN" up


When I take my girl fishing for Fun
Were going way away from anyone else because I know I have to be patient and take time



So that Fishing for Fun...just don't go well with me....

I only fish one boat per birds..so when another boats come on me...I will crank up blow them out...there my fish I found the 1st....so what I do with them is up to me....when people see this black boat crank up every time another boat comes on me....they might just start staying away..(that's my goal)

Has fishing big lake really turned into this? This is one reason why i don't fish that body of water anymore, and it looks like it will stay like that.

I am as competitive as any person you know, that is what has driven me in life and in my businesses. I will admit I am a sore loser and I do not handle defeat well, most competitive people don't. I have had to learn that some things are out of my control and I will not win every time or even most of the time in most matters in life. It has been something that I have struggled with. I understand where you are coming from but self control is very important in the game of life.

You are not selling these fish, even if you limit every single trip that you take, you are paying far more per pound for fish than you would ever pay at the grocery store. In your mind it might be a competition but in reality you are fishing for fun.

Unless you are fishing a tournament for significant money or become a guide, you are fishing recreationally.

Yes it has and you can feel the pressure and intense nature of what the lake has become every single day that you are out there. This is one of the reasons I bought a night boat. Once I have had enough of the mess that goes on every day (even during the week now, not just on the weekend), I shut it down and catch limits every night.

Drift cutters and potlicking usually occur in the "well known fishing areas" not throughout the whole lake ie turners, center reefs, comm point, and west cove.........thats why i made over 50 night trips last year...***** blends in at night..i thinks its funny when someone ptlicks you and they dont catch but you're steady slingin...the faces on the other boats are priceless...

casey if you ever need an extra hand to sling some of them trout at night you just let me know? Lol!

Guys it a frickin fish it is not worth it!!! I'm sure it gets frustrating , but still there's plenty of fish to catch in there.

Just start bass fishin the calcasieu

This may just backfire on you. You may figure 8 the wrong person and they will start figure 8'ing you every time they see you. don't matter if you are fishing w/ the kids or the wife or a big $$$ tourney.
They may just start following you around just to blow out every place you stop to fish?
What You Mad??? Just remember you started it.
Every one is not like you,they don't get mad. ( i don't) They just get even.
Pot lickers are a way of life. Especially when you post pics and brag about all the fish you catch. I know a few folks on this board that catch a bunch of fish most of the time they make a trip. But they keep it to them selves and don't get followed around and they like it that way.

Buy an aluminum boat. Nobody follows them.

Well put!

All I can say is you can't fix stupid. You can argue with the little man syndrome till you are blue in the face but you ain't gonna fix stupid.

like talking to a wall....

I take the non violent route......box of saltine crackers.......create my own diving birds in the middle of the lake and when you see them comming....leave!

Touchet!
