Use drift socks, bucket, or use your trolling motor. I know I don't own the water, but I do have respect for others hard work.

Nothing personal.

Amen

I have been spending time in the outdoors for about 55 years now. In that time I have met some of the nicest people anywhere. Having said that I have frequently bumped into people with room temperature IQ's, people who were rude and inconsiderate and some that were just plain crazy. I never have understood the chain thing anyway when you can get a good drift sock for less than 20 bucks. Or like you said just us a plastic bucket on a rope.

I'm with you CP ....I read where some other guy said you whine too much....I think you just expect things to be done right....and being considerate is just the right thing to do ! Heck I get a little peeved at myself when my jig gets hung and I break off a stick from a good brush pile !!!

I've been complaining to the bass guys for a few years now. They use that 50# braided line and rip the heck out of the brushpiles. A lot of times even moving them. It's gotten to the point where when i see them coming up the bank, i'll move directly over the ones i'm fishing and make them go around wide.

Whackmaster,

I got some pals on here bout my age (give or take a few years) and I bet all of them will tell everyone here we really don't give a crap about what people say about us or what their opinions of us are and we don't haveta take crap off anyone.. We have paid our dues.

We are grateful to God to have a heartbeat in the morning and not have to have a nurse change our depends.

Fishing is a plus.

why would a plastic bucket not tear up a brush pile and a chain would when its drug through it? My curious mind would like to know.

The bucket is dragged just a foot or so under or beside the boat not down in the cover.

so the bucket is on short piece of rope? whereas the chain is all the way to the bottom right? Makes sense
