How should I handle

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.

Fortunately it is public waters. If not I don't know where I would be able to fish.

I learned a valuable lesson from a old man one time. I was under a pier catching a tone of crappie and I look up and he rammed his boat right into where I was casting. I told him I was casting right where his boat was and he probably scared the fish away..... he said naw that both he and I would catch all the fish we wanted to and told me to go ahead and cast at his boat. 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.
