Last year on Grenada when we were there it looked like the Spanish armada, there must of been 150 boats in a 1/2 mile square or less. I don't think anyone got mad or out of line and it was a blast to be there in it.

I know beagle has to have a saying for this picture. He use to say how can something taste so good and be this cheap. So has to be something about a boat looking that good having a pilot looking like thatOriginally Posted by Speck
All I have to say is watch out for this guy. He's bat poop crazy!!! If you see him fishing, stay away. Far Far Away!!!

Depends on which boat has the refreshments.

In early March of 1992 a bunch of fish had moved onto some brush out from the Masters fishing dock. I was going down at first light (skipping school to much), and catching a lot of fish on a jig under a float. I found this out by blind luck. I went down there just driving around and an old lady in a long skirt had a mess of fish. She invited me to fish beside her and showed me where they were at. Over the next week and several mornings fishing with her, boats would try to pull in on us if they saw us catching fish. She kept a special pole rigged with a bunch of split shot and would just start chucking it out trying to hit their boat. Most would look surprised and move on. LOL. I was usually laughing and enjoying the show. She gave me some jigs she had tied and I still have them. I think she died that next summer. What a cool old gal.
So, to close in this case was if she could hit you.
Fish like your hungry!

I would say that is to close. Moving right in on someone who is catching fish is completely unacceptable, unless one is invited to by said person. It is in my mind even worse if that person is fishing the bank. Give them a little space. They either aren't fortunate enough to have a boat or due to circumstances are unable to get out on the water that day. Lots of places to fish.

Heck, I have seen it so thick at Smithville before that boats swap paint. You can either get upset about it and ruin the trip or just keep catching fish.
Give someone a fish and you feed them for a day; teach someone to fish and you feed them for life.

Cool story.
I am game with guys fishing close most of the time. I even offered some guys to move in front or behind me last weekend. I found some fish on the graph that were shallower and holding in two little areas. More there than I could have ever caught and others were struggling fishing out a little further. Neither boat took me up on the offer but could have moved over after I left. Dipping tree rows in the summer and fall is when I have had issues. Can be on a tree row about 50 yards long that I can fish the whole stretch in 20 minutes or less. Have had guys cut me off and start fishing towards me instead of going the other way which makes no since. I just swing out around them and keep dipping. My thinking is that if I am there first and they then start fishing towards me they should be the one to pull off the trees and swing their boat around me. Guess it's a good thing I have out grown my high school and college days of liking a good throw down. To many places to go fish to stick around and let guys cutting me off ruin my day.
