Thread: The good the bad the ugly

hate rude people like fisherman that they think they own the water 50 foot around them. lets see gun boat minnow buckets holes adds up to me

I think Guntersville fisherman are some of the worse hate to say it but I see it every time I fish their . more that any other lake

Why would someone in a boat fish close to someone fishing from shore? That's just wrong, what the (/$& do you have a boat for. Think I would start picking up rocks and throwing them where they are fishing.

I'm in the market for a nice crappie rig 2,000 to 5,000 range 40 horse engine to 60 range.I'm through with bank fishing.My son is almost out of college maybe I can afford one now.

Buy a kayak, get off the bank and fish where the big boats can't!

Long lining in a tournament last weekend n Logan when a b******* ran up behind me and cut in between me an the bank in space less than 50' wide. Asked if I was catching them and told him I was until he cut me off. Had young child in the boat so I couldn't fully express myself. All he said was sorry and turned his back. Wasn't on the spot more than five minutes and roared out to cut someone else off I'm sure. Maybe I should keep a couple of good chunkin rocks in the boat. Courtesy among fishermen is really starting to bottom out. It's all part of our new "I'm the most important person here" world. Sad state of affairs.

When I first started running a boat with my Dad, he told me one day when I got to close to a bank fisherman, He said BOY see that man there I said yes sir, and he said that we were in a boat and that we could go anywhere we wanted to go, but that man was limited on where he could fish and it was not right to run in on him. I have tried not to do that anymore. That was 50 years ago and I can still here my Dad say that. every time I see it happen. Besides If I had of done it again he would have knocked my teeth out.

Alabamaal, you have the patience of Job. Some how, some way, somebody would have left with a a@# whopping. And PW1. Everything you said plus jet skis.
