Thread: Rude fisherman

When I was little with my dad on Lake Cumberland he always slowed down when we were passing a boat that was fishing .Most of the time he would go out of his way to not bother them. But as BassTournament fishing got bigger the fishing courtesy got less and less.I have had boats on Barron River pull in and start fishing in casting range in front of me two times in the same day after spinner bait of the back of the boat they noticed me.

I wonder the same thing almost every time I go duck hunting. This year opening morning up in Illinois, had guys move in on us before sun up and it just about got em shot. They set up within about 40 yards and we didn't see them til after a buddy had pulled up on a bird that sat down on the water. Luckily he held off since we weren't sure where they were. 5 Mins later we look over and there is a guy peeking around a tree at us 40 yards in a straight line from where that bird had been sitting. Things could have gotten real bad if my buddy had pulled the trigger. There have been many times that I have arrived at the spot I wanted to hunt or fish and found someone else there...I simply move on to choice number 2. I wish others would do the same.
