If this is you.....

You are not supposed to run full throttle into the middle of a giant flock of birds then stop and try to fish. Thanks for killing a good bite

Week days are better than weekends, but still never good.
If they see you fishing, they will come to you.
Me and Jordan left the launch before dark. Got to Turners Island before daylight.
We were the only boat in the lake at this time.
Along comes a small boat, pulls up right next to us and starts fishing.
We move, he followed us.
When daylight hit, the boats swarmed us.

Just can't get no respect these days on the water....that's a shame...I guess these sports had no one to teach them any better when they where young

90% of the time you see a T-top coming its trouble. Not sure why that is but the numbers do not lie.

You know, I've really started fishing a lot more in lake areas lately. I now fish popular areas more than I ever have. I couldn't imagine rolling up on someone so close that without a 12x zoom, they could get a detailed picture of me! There are fish everywhere in these areas and even I realize that. I don't think I've fished within a couple hundred yards of anyone until last weekend when LPfishnTim and I TROLLED past another boat in a canal. Close enough to talk but still not close enough to swap paint or piss anyone off!

I thing I'll start keeping a rod set up with nothing more than a 3 oz weight in case this kind of crap ever happens to me!

Those guys pissed me off. They would roll right up to the birds with big motor and then poof. No more birds. *** were they thinking.

That's friggin sad! Well, maybe they lurk around in these forums and will see this post. Although they'll never likely come forth, maybe they'll learn that their practices aren't appreciated.

People who motor up into a group of birds, then expect to catch fish are not clearly thinking and evidently do not understand how a school of fish will spook. Also, how disrespectful it is to the other people already fishing a school of fish. I understand ya'lls frustration.

we had one jackazz in a blue/white boat with a goofy, giant, tall, white antenna run into our birds, drop the tm hard, caught 2 fish, ran the birds off, THEN cranked his big motor and took off right in front of us!

THEN he proceded to do the same thing to a guy in a jonboat that we had been watching quietly working a set of his own. after sucessfully ruining that guy's bite.. he then ran over to the only other boat in the bay and ruined their bite too.
AFTER ALL THIS....we eventually got our limit and we had gotten back on a small set of birds for catch and release fish and who do we see coming back at full throttle?? yep, big white antenna guy!

he wasn't gonna do it to us again so we waited till he got close and we jumped in the bottom of the boat, started our big motor and made as much noise leaving the area as possible, scattering the birds in every direction!

It would be cool if someone would type up a fishing ettiquette "Dos and Don'ts" document, written with a cool head and just the facts (no sarcasm and no unrealistic rules, like don't ever pass within 2 miles of another boat...just rules that you follow yourself, without fail). I would be happy to post it in the FAQ docs.

Raymond · #13 11-29-2010, 10:46 AM

I am seriously thinking about buying a Bull Horn to yell at the idiots.

excelent idea, im thinkin that' gonna be a long list filled with stuff like "Do practice backing your boat in a parking lot before going to the launch for the first time." and "Don't block 2 of the 3 launch slips at cal point with your big obnoxious lsu boat on saturday morning at daybreak!"

I could cut it down to one.... "Do have respect for others."

but thats wishful thinkin.

I would pay to see you go off on some people with a bull horn... I would probably fall out of my boat from laughing so hard
