Thread: First time for everything

So okatibee was extremely windy today and I decided to fish a spot where the bank blocked the wind. I trolled along and found some fish on the finder and threw out a marker. Did this two more times and started getting poles out and in the holders. I had drifted off a bit and when I looked back at my last marker some guy was heading straight to it. Before I got there he had caught three fish off of it. So I headed to the second and didn't think anything of it. Well here he comes Trolling motor wide open right beside me headed to my third marker. So I turned around and asked him if he was catching anything. He says well that was the first three I caught today and proceeded to go stop on my last marker and catch two fish there. Well I was kinda ticked at this point. I had no clue who he was. So I troll on back to the first marker and there he goes to the one i just left. I finally turned around and said out loud that I felt like it was pretty crappy and he says he is just following an old creek run. Well there ain't no creek run there. So I just picked up my markers and left. What would you guys have done? Am I wrong to be just a little pissed about it?

You could be a little pissed, but unless you own the lake not a lot you can do without getting the law called on you!

True. I guess next time I see him Ima just throw out some random markers and then go way off from him and fish

Rude and crude he was. I would have gone and got the first one, while he was fishing it. Shame on him.

that's why some of us set waypoints instead of markers....just sayin'

Well I would have but my finders don't link together and I was at the steering wheel

Might have a mean ole woman back out the house, threatening him if he don't come back with fish THIS time he ain't allowed to go back If it's just one boat with one or two folks I would try to help them out or vice versa, unless they were just totally rude. And fishing another mans markers blatantly, without a word is just about as rude as you get.. just some of those people in the world, unfortunately

Hope he ain't got a gun because hit is about to hit the fan. Somebody gonna go to hospital or jail.

I don't disagree. But the way I was taught is there is plenty other water to fish in. Now if somebody leaves a spot it's different

Plenty of A-holes on the lake just like everywhere else. I was catching fish in between a few trees one year and this guy came in and tied his boat to the tree 5 yards from me. I said something to him and he was like "I recogn there's enough fish for all of us". I just moved. About had my limit anyway. Had another guy do pretty much the same thing except he couldn't get where my honey hole was. Well, it didn't take me long to catch the limit so I told him I had to leave and go ahead an move over but don't tell anyone. I hadn't gone 20 yards and he was on his phone calling his buddies to come over. On that same note, all those boats congregated in the same areas at Sardis trolling is about the same thing. One boat starts out, here comes another and another and another. As far as markers go, I'd suggest tossing them out not on the exact spot. Maybe 15-20 yards either way in one direction or the other.
