Thread: Minners In The Parking Lot

Try pulling up on the ramp where some idiot dumped their load of Asian carp after shooting a boat load, lining them up for pictures, then driving off. F&W has had to put out trail cameras to catch some of these idiots. It's getting better but still happens. I guarantee you they would walk home if I saw them do it.

It's a growing sport and just like everything else you get some good folks and you get some bad folks. This would be a good reason to outlaw trolling with minnows. (I'm just joking guys so don't get upset)

Since we are venting! One thing that really gets me is we park in parking lot to load gear in our boat, take transom saver off, preparing to launch etc... people blow by us to the ramp. We then go to launch and the ramp is full of folks putting their gear in the boat, graphs on etc... blocking the darn ramp. Take care of getting your boat ready to launch in the parking lot not on the ramp!!! You are not going to beat anyone to a secret spot by blocking the ramp.

I know of a guide here that does this, him and however many boats he has going out, acts like he owns the place.

I know the group! If you happen to be fishing the same area that they are they seem to try everything they can to push you out to! I usually just avoid them if possible but sometimes we get right in the middle of them just to ruffle their feathers if we want to fish the area they are in. Let me say that I'm not against guiding but that bunch gives guides a black eye!

All it takes is a little consideration for your fellow angler. Makes the world go round. Respect other people and respect the ramps and public areas we have the luxury of using. But preaching to the choir here.

I save em and throw them in my pond the few times I buy them. I love watching the bass chase them down for a snack. Same for leftover crickets. Blue bream clean em up pretty quick

i put em in my tomato plant pots...good fertlizer. since were discussing our frustrations my thing is people that will pull 100 ft of line off a reel and throw it in the lake. its gotten so bad that every time i service my boat i pull the big prop and the tm just to make sure. had a good friend that lost a $2000.00 prop cause braid was around the shaft which eventually broke.

Plain ole inconsideration....What comes around goes around....If you were like that would you sleep good at night ?.....How would you imagine their clients feel about their guides behavior?....In life respect doesn't fall out of the sky and land on you ,you have to earn it....Who would respect poor behavior?
