No Respect to Fisherman any more

[barbarian]

Just politely drop the big motor and run right in front of their bow and do the same thing. You don't have to say a word. Some people only get it when they are on the recieving end.

It's never going to stop, it'll only get worse. Get over it

That is what we've heard, but I would rather see their reactions when I simply just reverse the situation. Happens bank fishing in the bass world all the time. Believe or not some people get upset - simply mind blowing.

This is also how I think about it. I give more room when I'm making a bigger wake. I'll often only leave 50 yards in an aluminum boat doing 15 mph cause the wake won't bounce 'em around. The same distance is rude in a 20-24' fiberglass boat running at 35 mph.

A 12- 18" wake off off any boat, reguardless of size has the same affect. That being said, the aluminum running 15 mph will probably push a bigger wake than the 20 something running 35-40. Plus the actual disturbance under the water is only 50 yds. , well within the area that is targeted.. guess that's not on your calculator...

I would rather people just stay om plane. Most of them don't understand slowing down a little makes your wake worse. Either idle by with motor in the full down position or fly by and get it over with.

I wouldn't argue about calculations or physics with MathGeek

A super spook might change his mind! Very possible @ 50 yds.

I've gotten sea-sick on calm waters in VB during the fall run from just the wakes. It has been so bad over the past 10 years that now it doesn't bother me much. Part of the fall spectacle of fishing.

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

I run a few #s a day myself. Welgh, surface area, specific gravity, free surface, interpalation, and a few more. But I've been on the water and fishing longer.

[HHenry1]

Dont underestimate stupidity my friends..

["W"]

I have no idea how people that big motor over a spot then turn around fish it....keep going fishing....no way in hell they are catching fish...


Motor kills bite !!!!!


I saw some guys fishing a bank a while back....they cranked up ran straight down the bank and started fishing it again

You better bring ya "A" game to get into a numbers crunch war with MathGeek. Best of luck to the both of ya.

Remember grand isle last year? Dem dudes in da offshore boat??? Dude was gettin dat arse reamed from me n bob

[Duck Butter]

Da Cove - I believe you no worries

but to the original discussion, it all depends, I want people to run on plane when they pass me when I am fishing in say a channel or a bayou and they have to be close, but if you are in the middle of the lake or a bay, then there is no reason to run 50 yards from the boat wide open. I have only fished Turners a handful of times and that is a totally different situation in the fall. I think you may as well just be prepared to idle for a good while as long as people are fishing, stay as far away from boats if that is possible.
