I just love it when I'm the only one in the crowd catching then here they come like bunch of vulchers on a dead horse and the catching comes to a cease.

If I find fish on the bite, I tend to tell others. I hate to get my butt kicked out on the lake. If I see others struggling to scratch up a mess and I'm doing good, I'll tell anyone that asks where they are, what I'm catching on, and how deep to fish. Others help me out. Paying it forward I reckon. Doesn't bother me a lick.
You sound like me Rob.

I like falling in behind em and see if I can get bit
Oh don't get me wrong I'd do the same thing but I'm talking about so close the ends of our poles were touching thought we were going to get tangled.
I've had a game warden run his boat right threw the top I was catching out of����
That wasn't nice either did you tell him what color jig you were fishing and how deep?:Rofl
Well, if someone (even a game warden) ran through my hole like that, I'd give him an ear full of every word not permitted on here and possibly throw a couple 3oz sinkers at them, but yes, I'll share a top with others.
It gets even more vicious in the bayous here. I have had people run right past me, put their trolling motor down and start fishing right in front of me. I always tell people what i am doing and where. But, a little common curtesy would be nice. I guess its human nature to want to be catching instead of watching. In those cases, i motor to someplace else. Been on both sides of that fence but i don't like to invade someone else's spot, unless they ask..lol
Nope, had the wife and kids with me. Had to bite my lip.Quote:

The same day I also had a youngster in an overpowered bass boat pass me from behind in the main Orange Grove canal and nearly hit me with his spray. All he had to do is pull up even to where I could see him and I would have moved over to give him all the room he wanted.

just the other day in 70 i had a guy a full step about to pass me and to my luck i hooked a good fish, the boat stopped asked if i was fishing the bank in which i replied yes, and he still pulled up 20 yards in front of me and started fishing. wanted to go check out a spot past him so stayed on step and whippe around in canal figured i would go somewhere else.
That don't happen often[emoji6]Quote:

"gene" .....bass fisherman are the worse to me. Always in a hurry to go no where and when they get there they in hurry leave. I guess if I had a 250 sitting on a big fiberglass boat I would try it to.
I ran into a bass fishing buddy one day while looking at trolling motors. He laughed at my reasons for upgrading and said "You white perch guys. I'm going to blow by you at 70mph". I said almost the same thing as you. I said "Well, while you're running up and down the lake at 70mph every five minutes, I'll be trolling along at 1.5mph actually catching fish." :biggrin
I'm thinking I wasn't clear as to what actually happened. We were at poverty point it's a pretty open lake there were 4 boats within about 100ft of each other in had caught 6 Good crappie by moving trolling forward 30 foot and drifting back every time I'd go forward the boat behind would to and it got so close I was unable to drift back to where I was catching the fish then the guy in the other boat caught a really nice crappie and the other guy in his boat fishing with him said boy you caught that one right out from under his boat speaking of my boat. Hopefully this is more clear why it didn't set to we'll. People just need to be more respectful when on the lake.
Hey bossier rob you ever fish LOP?
I see what you mean now. That's not very courteous of them. In that case, I'd tell them how I was fishing and continue. If we bump, we bump. I've never fished LOP a single time. I hear it's great from friends.
