Got to enjoy a mid-week trout bite a couple weeks ago at the trash-pile, that is until the big green gravois spoiled it. Was making my way from the avery and when we got to the trash pile there were a few birds sitting on the water. I dropped the trolling motor and my girlfriend and I started casting to the sitting birds. We picked up a few, and then the birds started picking. THere was only one other boat at the time and the two of us worked the birds for about an hour without any harrassment. Then comes the green gravois, whom I could tell was trying to be courteous by shutting down away from the birds. Well he mis-calculated his drift and missed the 'hot area.' Guess he could not stand watching us sling trout because he cranked up his engine and comes flying into the school. At the time he cranked his engine there was a separate set of birds working, but he was so locked in to watching us catch fish he didnt see them. I figured why fight working a school with a boat that doesnt have a trolling motor so we left. Oh well, enjoyed it while it lasted, because we all know that will soon be standard douchery for the rest of the fall.
