No Respect to Fisherman any more

["W"]

On Big Lake
Its is unreal that either people have zero knowledge of how to fish or just that stupid to understand what to do behind the wheel of a boat

Yesterday I managed to stay away from all boats and stayed to myself and caught fish

Today tried but..........

I can't understand what makes people click ?? If you see a guy in open water on anchor fishing..(only boat with in miles)..... Just because its a straight line from channel to weirs ....do you run wide open 250ft from that only boat in the water ?????? Not one but Two boats killed my only good bite I got on



2nd if you see a boat going to a spot that's way in front of you!! Do you go full throttle and run in front of them??

Happened today...I'm going to a spot on Monkey island...no boats around going about 25mph about a 75yards from spot when out of no where a boat come from behind me and got right in front and drove big motor on spot!!

Next I'm fishing towards a point and about 15ft from it casting at it...when a boat drives strait up to the point and runs up (over reef area) Chunks anchor and live cut mullet went flying (I had a million bucks they never caught a trout in there life)


Really are people that disrespectful or just plain Stupid

Last time I went threw west cove I thought they had run a new ship channel with bouy markers...


But soon found out it was pop n corks and live shrimp slinging .....

Some people honestly do not know better. I stopped 3 kids in their dads boat in Turner's last year and told them they were being inconsiderate and they had no clue what they were doing was inconsiderate. They ran wide open thru a bunch of boats and everyone was throwing their arms up in the air after they went by, but I stopped them and let them know. I like to think that they learned a lesson that day, but who knows. You should really let these people know, maybe they just don't know any better.

That being said, last time we were at Cyp Point 2 boats came wide open at us and stopped and threw down the trolling motor 50 yards away and I could cast across their lines. Tried to be nice and ask them why they were doing what they were doing, but they were all old fellas and pretty mouthy as well. We just sat and cussed each other for 5 minutes Ain't worth the hassle sometimes

It's sad to say that's how people are. It's just as bad hunting on public land. People have zero respect for others

[Spunt Drag]

Either follow em and beat the **** out of em, or shut the **** about it. Done.

[Top Dawg]

I think it's worse hunting on public land. Because they have noise makers and guns! And about a case of 3-1/2" shells to skybust with!

I think it's worse hunting public, people have much more sense of entitlement. "This is MY spot" type mentality.

That happened to us all day today. The minute you set the hook people were coming around us. We caught eight fish total. I was even hung up once and that caused people to come over. It sucks

I did not even lose my cool today..... Just shook my head and went find more fish


Anchored in wide open water with no boats around and get run over just floors me

Yesterday had people running away from us. And then you could tell the instant someone spotted us because the flipped a half figure 8 came up on us. One boat stayed outside of a 100yds but others came within 50, one guy even 25. Craziness I tell ya!!!! If I didn't have a friend in the boat that wanted a few trout we would have been in the marsh hiding from people, sightfishing reds

Now that we are discussing this, I would like to know your opinions.

1. If I am entering Turners and there are boats anchored throughout the bay, is it discourteous to stay on plane?

2. If I am entering Turners and a fisherman is running toward me and stops to anchor, is it discourteous to stay on plane?

I honestly want to know how to navigate around others en route to my spots Turners is awefullully big to troll across.
