Is this you???

Com Pt is a prime example of boats needing to make a wide path west prior to heading to heberts but there is absolutely no excuse for boat to run between basket and the bank! Jberg and I watched an idiot run between us and the bank Friday at 1/4 throttle, all the way outta site!! Guess he was not in a big hurry to get to the weirs with his big umbrella. WLF needs to make a boating class mandatory for everyone not just kids.

That's where I was on Friday as well. There was a few bank burners.

Silly question, is that taught in the boating class if not could some fishing ettiquete (W) be taught in the class?

The boating class isnt geared toward fishing at all that I remember.

Not sure if it would help.....but it might!

Wouldn't help a lick. I got cutoff by 3 guys in an aluminum boat. Worst part is, itwas a guy with a SC t- shirt on

What happened to slowing down when meeting another boat headed in the opposite direction. Always thought this was a USCG regulation, obviously not!

Coast Guard does not regulate Stupidity.
We have created this monster through the internet. Posting fishing reports only adds folks to the water that have enough money to pay a note and buy Skrimps. Most don't have a clue how to catch a cold much less trout,reds,flounder. They read a report that says the weirs, commissary pt, turners and head out lookin fer feesh. They are the ones who anchor down wind and try to chunk a cork/skrimp into the wind where they saw BD,W,Paul, catch a feesh. Or they see you catching fish and move up off anchor and crowd your drift but give you the evil eye when you pass their boat by 10 yds. Yes it is tough to watch other people catch fish but you don't have to be a rocket surgeon to emulate what that guy is doing and catch fish. Off the soap box, gotta put some more rocket launchers on the tunnel hull.

But first you have to know what a drift is . If they don't have a clue, (which most don't) then all they see is a boat sitting in the water catching fish.
If they don't know what a drift is then i'm sure they have no concept of up wind ,downwind, how to approach birds, how to approach another boat, etc.
