Maybe a fella need to make friends with a guy with a wake boat. Those things do a great job at making waves. . I am ashamed to say after I was washed into a dock I was shooting four times by some duck hunters buzzing me . I had had enough. Let them get their decoys all set and ready. I ran in close killed the throttle and turned and let it fall into the water. Gave them enough of a wake to not be real happy.
Unfortunately it's public waters and it seems the public cares less and less about doing the right thing.
The worst part is they teach their children to do the same.
Let’s keep it family friendly here on crappie.com please.
Fortunately it is public waters. If not I don't know where I would be able to fish.Quote:

I cast in front of his boat just like I had been doing and wham it was on and I and he caught all the fish we wanted to catch. Became good friends with him. Taught me that when you find the fish and they are biting it doesn't matter how close anybody gets.
It is frustrating when boats go by on plane and rock your boat when you are trying to fish. In most cases those individuals will get upset if you do the same thing to them. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do about it as an individual except yell at them. And that does entail a risk to you. But I admit I still yell at them when they come to close. In my younger days I did more than that but as it has been pointed out the best policy is to be safe.
When I fished the canals off the Rigolets in Slidell the game wardens there ran boat speed traps with radar in the canals on a regular basis. They would ticket anybody moving at more than five miles an hour through the canals. And even that did not stop people from speeding through the canals.
As in a lot of things Ben Franklin said it best.
I like some of the ideas and got a good laugh from some. At the end of the day as a Christian I will probably just continue to just deal with the disrespectful few and enjoy my night fishing when they go to bed after dark.

Absolutely not that's an adorable fishing buddy. My pit likes to go but momma gets a little mad when I take the dog and not her.Quote:

Times like this generate a lot of emotions within me. I try very hard to remember how I’m supposed to behave. I have trouble with double standards. Those that I’m forced to adhere to are blatantly ignored by others as they smile in your face and rub it in. I have a bird dog that loves to capitalize on my knowledge. Won’t talk, won’t leave, just follows my every move. I believe this year I’ll lead him to where no fish live and then sit there and look at him while he waits for me to do something.
