Thread: How do ya'll..

With my schedule working offshore, I try to fish during the weeks as much as possible. Mainly myself and the retired fleet out there with some people fishing on vacation. Seems to be a much easier crowd. But I do know what you mean being a young fella, I really have to bite my tongue sometimes. Luckily my brain is faster than my fist.

On the other side, I was fishing a ledge a few weeks back with two other boats, guys looked to be in there 60's who have fished together, albeit in different boats, for 40+ years. I was on the spot first, but they rolled in (very courteously) just after I got set up. They asked if they could fish the area with me and of course I said sure. We lined up like a train and just made passes down the ledge up one side of the canal and down the other passing pole tip to pole tip in the narrow sections. We laughed, told jokes, they told stories of the area before the Rez was flooded for six hours, it was a grand time. They treated me like a long lost friend it felt like. And we all caught a limit.

It's like strawberries everyone is eatable just sometimes it's just Dang Sweet!!!

Best thing to do is "don't catch fish" you won't be bothered. If you do catch fish get ready for company. I don't stay put long. I bump and run. Pull 1 or 2 fish out then move.

My pleasure

i use to go fishing with my neighbor on Ross Barnett Rez all the time and he use to hate when inconsiderate people would come by zooming at seems like 100 mph and of course it was usually bass fisherman lol but I never saw him get rowdy with any of them..I'm a bank fisherman and I hate it when a boat zooms by creating a massive wake it's the most irritating thing in the world most of the time if they are in hearing distance I wanna say something but I don't
