The problem is not that they aren't as good of fisherman as some of the others on the lake, but that they were never taught proper etiquette. Sure there are a few people out there that don't care about being courteous, but mostly it is ignorance. Cussing them and calling them pilgrim while you storm off will not make matters better.If someone rolls up on your spot and ruins it; the fish are gone. Might as well turn around and make the best of the situation and let them know what they did and how to remedy it next time. The more new fishermen we educate the better everyone's lake experience will be.
