If your on the east bank and its Saturday you are getting ran over because most that launch at Heberts know 1 thing ...Weirs... and its a straight shot there and don't matter who is in the way

Ship Channel is bad also most don't run in the center of the channel they like to run 20 feet off the bank and if your anchored out fishing they will pass right next to you and wave like your friends.. ( Good part about that is on the channel it don't mess the bite up as much as it does in the lake in shallow waters)

I had a guide boat two Saturdays ago troll right over the fish we were catching ...I told my guys to keep casting in his boat.... He then anchored dead behind me while my guys are throwing at him....

After 20-30 lead heads against his boat he moved about 100 feet over.... His customers would not even look our way because they new he was a dumbazz for doing that... we were catching fish one after another and he was the only one that would throw our direction ...
his customers would not even throw because they new our lines would get crossed..

Major Props to you for being able to laugh it off after having to deal with it on a regular basis- i guess that is the only way to keep your sanity with some of the stupidity that goes on. My favorite scenario is the one you described- fishing the channel and having a boat pass within 20 yards of you and everyone waves. But to have a fellow guide do that is unreal.
