By the time you come around a bend and see somebody on the side fishing you try to slow down and putt putt by. It does not help the situation it makes it worse so just ease over on the opposite side as far as you feel comfortable and keep on truckin. The old courtesy slow down and putt by is only ness. if you have a huge wake throwing boat when its on plane. If you dont throw a substantial wake no need to poke on by.
okay. will do. i normally stop way before i get there to them, but like you said, the bigger boats really do make me mad when they try and stop 2 ft before reaching you and throw one HUGE wake. but like aluminum boats i putt putt by making sure i throw no wake. i dont half way get up on plane to throw those huge wakes at them. i make sure to stop down from them. now if i dont see them til im close,i ussually holler sorry and keep on truckin. but when bass boats come hauling butt by and throw a rooster tail and all that stuff. Thats what makes me mad.
