To Close

[zummy]

Last year I was the only boat on a 5k acre lake. Catching walleye like there was no tomorrow. Only other boat on the water that day comes up and fishes the buoy I had out. I was like WTH. 5k acres of water, 2 boats, and they come in close enough I could spit sunflower seeds into their boat. They didn't catch any but I continued catching them and from then on I made a huge production of it everytime I hooked up with both poles. They eventually left to fish elsewhere.

I know a guy that fishes below a dam here. Lets just say there are some others around here with zero respect for anybody and if you catch a fish suddenly they will be all around you. Well he caught a fish and they crowded in. He went okay and tied on a snagging hook. He then went below the dam and cast as far as he could down the sidewall. Got all their lines reeled them up and cut them. That kept them at bay the rest of the day.
