Thread: How close is too close?

I am new to this crappie deal fishing, sure hope I am never that guy. One reason I have been semi avoiding the cove, trying to learn new boat, and I don't want to be that guy ever. I know wind still gives me fits sometimes getting used to my trolling motor. But bumper boats seems a lot too close for comfort for me, or other boat.

I was out there as well. The disrespectful guy had to pick up two of his poles off of his rod holders and lift them both over the head of the guy in the kayak. It was crazy!! I have never seen that kind of crazy behavior in my life on the water. Way to go Greg for speaking up!!! That kind of person will not learn if stuff like that doesn't happen.

I hate to laugh but that's funny....and WOW!!! you can hardly believe it. "Hey don't move while I just lift two or three spider rig poles over your head and boat". LOL

I just have to say you guys down south are alot more polite than me. I would have been like Bobby Boucher: So that's what opening up a can of whoop-ass feels like. that might have put a end to it..

After being in that situation with you sir , no you have no reason to complain. That was uncalled for when he come in and did what all he did tryin to get in there . I don't mind fishing around most ppl when it's tight like that bc the majority of the guys are courteous fishermen and a few can work together in tight . But there can be situations where it's just uncalled for and unfortunately today we there when it took place. And it's not that I got upset bc the man came in trying to find a fish but when you come in and start to screw up three other boats fishing that ain't cool . The 8 or 10 times he picked up and dropped that anchor stirred up more mud than what we needed .

We try our hardest to bite our tongue and let it be , we are fortunate to get to fish more than most so there will be another day. Ya know tomorro ... That or those darn kayaks have no business being out there and just need to get the heck out of the way to begin with ... Haha haha

I am gonna make ya'll some special brownies to eat before entering the pool to fish lol. I am jealous I didn't get to play bumper boats too with the red bass tracker. Liv2fish you can fish in my boat next time and kayak man and his dad can fish out of the back. We will eliminate 3 boats that way or we can just tie a rope to each other And I will pull ya around. Man what a circus that would be.

Forgot we can put one of the little take a number thingies at the entrance. Can't enter until one leaves and only room for 50 boats.

Haha that's funny pops prolly needed a brownie when he paddled off I could tell he was hot around the ears. I just know my dad he had to go cool off and let his bp come down

He told me it was just one of those times where he personally wasnt catching "that many" fish to make a scene . He told me he didn't wanna make a scene and offend my c.com buddies ... Just better to pull anchor and paddle off
