Thread: The Pool Is Crowded!

I have had and seen more confrontations out in the lake. I was on Gold point one Summer day and saw two old men in different boats get in to it with paddels and poles.
I estimate I have seen over 30 boats in the Pool before. I used to make a 3 hour drive to the Chicken Coop on Toledo Bend when I lived in Texas just to be one of the 200 boats there. I had to learn how to parallel park in a boat.

I have seen my share as well, and have even been inadvertantly drawn into some of them, However just cause the fish are biting really well in one spot does not mean that every boat in the state needs to converge on that one spot, if they are biting in that spot, then they are biting in other spots as well. it just takes a little initiative to find them. There are to many fisherman that want it easy and dont want to put forth the effort to find fish. When you start crowding in other fishermen then hard feelings are sure to come if that fisherman is a serious fisherman. Serious fishermen tend to protect the spot that they are fishing at the time. ITS CALLED COMMON COURTESY, if a fisherman dont mind a person hoarding in on his/her fishing action and spot then there is not a problem. But there is very few people out there that wants to compete for the same fish and fishing spot. Then that leads to a confrontation and hard feeling.
