Thread: How close is too close?

The mans intentions were to catch a fish , I completely understand that it's a whole lot more enjoyable day when ur catching fish too and not just watching ppl catch fish ... He just went about tryin to get in close all wrong and hey we're all human I've pulled a bone head stunt or two in one way or another throughout my life There's no hard feelings towards the man between dad and I , it's a respect thing that's all but he wasnt trying to keep me from catching fish he just missed the personal space boundary lines today that's all

You guys are having way too much fun!! I need to get in on this. I just added a new "bumper" on my boat and would like to test it!!

I'm just one of those folks that I don't like to be that close when I'm fishing. I go fishing for the relaxation and the solitude most of the time. I do not deal with people that get that close real well.

If yall just post the day when everyone is gonna fish we can tie up and just walk across the boats to the brush piles :-)

Hey Kent. Stop at Jonesboro on your way down there and pick me up.

Hopefully the lesson has been learned.

I think it was a learning experience for us all. I have no hard feelings towards the guy and maybe better judgement will be used next time.

Yall come to sippi. 75 boats fishing pole to pole on Sardis. I think thats why they dont allow drinking on the lake.

I didn't even see another boat on the water with me yesterday. Yall should try fishing where the fish arn't bitting.

I was there last sprng and I know what you are talking about. But when I was there everybody just kind of stayed away from each other as much as they could.
