If someone is pulling cranks and on a definite loop or pattern do you troll through there or leave it alone. I know the edicate bass fishing but what is the general feeling on crappie fishing in the summer heat?

You wait till they get out of the way so you don't get tangled up.
Get in line. They'll let ya know if they don't want ya around.
Don't cut anyone off and don't tangle their lines.
Lead flying is a little too late, not gonna run over anyone but aint gonna leave cause someone else is close either. Just wanted some thought on it.
Remember this: no one owns the water but you get more flyes with sugar than being a arse hole.
The only thing that hacks me off when pulling is for a boat to move into my line of travel and force me to change course. Other than that, they can follow, shadow, get on my same route - whatever.
Gets to be quite a rodeo up at Sardis sometimes. I try to be always mindful of the pontoons which can not alter course as easily as regular boats.
Wannabe...
Another question...... You're the boat on an obvious pattern and someone jumps in front of the way you are headed and tosses out 50 (seriously it was 50) catfish floating jugs in front of you. You're in a cove headed back toward the main lake and they can see you are headed that way. What would you do?
Since I can not say waht I would really do I will just say part....not the first jug would have a line left on it that was in front of meQuote:

We won;t talk about catfish jugs or trot lines that aren't marked. LOTS of them on the bottom on the lakes I fish due to me cutting them to get my baits back.
do the same thing that jerry reed did in "smokey and the bandit", to the rednecks' motorcycles with his 18 wheeler..........run over them, lol.Quote:

Just scoop them up and put them in the boat. Give them back when you get through fishing.
If they don't have enough respect to not cut you off, then I don't have enough respect to dodge their lines.
good point, VERY good pointQuote:
