No Respect to Fisherman any more

[Gerald]

I alway try to give other boats that are fishing 200 to 300 yards distance while passing them.

In Turners Bay area sometimes there is no way to keep away from other boats. This is why I normally only fish during the week. If I can see where I can be 100 yard from other boats....I stay on plane.

I was freshwater fishing in an area where there were a dozen boats catching Sacks on anchor. We were a 1/4 mile from the end of the open water and were spreadout so that we blocked most of the waterway.

A speed boat pulling a skier was headed towards us. I am thinking they will surely make a u-turn before getting much closer. Nope. They shot through a 100 foot gap between boats. Then they had very little room to go anywhere so they made a u-turn and drove back between the same boats.

One guy wrote down the boat number, and I got the number and called it in. I always wonder if anything was done to this guy. This was way before CELL phone with cameras.
