If I see someone fishing a spot, I won't even go near that area
I'm like that to. Unless I know them.....then I don't get to close unless to talk to them or something. I have always showed the other guy respect and stayed away from them... Now I do know that there are times when the fish are biting and you do have to get in close to each other......so there is a time and place for the close quarter fishing...I understand that.

And there are other times that its just nice to be left alone.

The funny thing about it was I was on the Largest Lake in Iowa...15,000 acres of water and I couldn't see another boat in any direction....and I found my little spot and was catching a few.....and I had three boats come clear across the lake to check me out and get fairly close to me and say something about the fishing.....I must me a magnet.

I was polite to the other ones and they moved on....but these guys just didn't get it I guess.

Thanks for the ideas on how to deal with them next time and the funny situations / stories....
