how close is to close???

I was anchored down fishin in the mouth of Allison crk. yesterday when a pair of "wise men" came up in a boat and started circling us twice out of about 5 or 6 times close enough to hit um with the end of my 12 ft rod one of um finally ask how we were doing so I said pretty good till a couple fools started circling my boat == so "answer a fool and get another foolish answer" he said yeah I know but if you gonna fish this lake you will have to put up with that kind of stuff :Doh: poor feller didn't even know I was talking to him but after a little silent prayer I just ignored um after they anchored up about 20 yards from my toon.
just wondering has anyone else had something like that happen to you and how close do you think is to close to get to some ones boat when you can see 7to8 hundred acres of water and not a boat in sight

It was your cologne they was afturd

happened to me today, 2 guys came in wide open and run right up beside me, and started fishing as if I wasn't there, I was on one side of brush pile and they came up to the other side of pile and started casting, so i started talking to them since i could have knocked them out of there boat with my rod!old they both caught a fish first cast but that didn't last long and I had them cut off from the rest of the pile, after I caught about 15 crappie in front of them , they decided to move on, it was kinda funny after i thought about it, I could hear them say" he's got another slab" every time I caught a fish!

i was shooting docks with a buddy of mine Primus on Greenwood several years ago and had a fishing charter boat troll right beside us and I was hugging the shoreline. Funny thing was that we were wearing them out and I dont think I saw them pull one fish out.

Robert I was thinking the same thing, Brettw

You got to have that casting rod rigged with lead and a treble hook. Works every time!:mad:

My nine scares em pretty good. Don’t use it just make sure they see it is close by.

Cast braid over the outboard as they’re leaving, let them spool the whole reel, just don’t tie the end to the reel

I've had similar situation fishing from the bank. My kids and I were wearing them out (during the spawn at river fork on greenwood) and had boaters park right on top of where we were fishing. Irritating to say the least.

Funny story....a couple years ago I carried my friend from work fishing. He cusses ALOT. I needed to throw that in.:biggrin Well, we were trolling AND catching fish, ALOT of fish (spring of the year) and a boat seen us regularly pulling in fish so this boat (with two guys in it) came right along side of us, never speaking a word to us. About that time they reeled in a small fish so the guy in my boat, with his choice of words, says pretty loud when they weren't 20 feet away "If that as big of

XXXX

fish as I could XXXXXXX catch then I'd give the XXXX up and go to the XXXXXX house!" I almost croaked.:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl Man! That boat never bothered us again that day but since I don't carry I certainly didn't want to run across them again when I was by myself either.:biggrin Maybe you just had to be there......but that was so FUNNY at that time.:):)

Next time theyre that close Remus you should just bounce a jig off their boat and say....."Excuse me, I aint that good at casting." If they don't take that hint then later just throw a jig over their boat. it would be worth loosing the jig over it.:)

We're still talking about a fishing spot, right? Geez.

Uncle Remus I have a 7 ft rod with a 4oz wait tied to it. I have thrown a jig over there boat and sometimes it works and the leave. If that don't work I'll through the big weight right at them and dare them to say something. I don't like being that way but sometimes enough is enough

I may not be from the same area as you guys but I’ve had similar experiences. This past weekend I was fishing in the wind and rain on a public dock, just enjoying being alone and then this happenedAttachment 291653 There were plenty of other docks and a million other places on Lake of the Ozarks to fish and this guy parked his boat right over the brush pile I was fishing.

There is some rudeness and outright thoughtlessness but never a reason to threaten violence. It's crappie fishing for pete's sake

I just get out the boat bumpers and some rope. If we need to be close lets have lunch and visit. Never know they might even have some really good deviled eggs or coffee.

Sorry! Nice only goes so far. I can't wait for the ski club to start swamping us. I think I'll be taking video this year and give it to DNR.:Rofl

Wow! I thought Crappie fishermen were gentlemen! I thought only us Bass fishermen were aholes! :Rofl I was fishing a Thursday eve tournament a couple years ago on the river. I was working my way through some concrete riprap they had dumped off the top of the bank to keep the highway from washing away. Great place to pick up some Spots. This cat comes downriver from behind me, on the opposite side, then cuts directly across and pulls in front of me. I mean like my next cast in front of me. He's on the trolling motor just like I am. Has been following me for 30 min on the other side. I am coming to my favorite stretch and I am beyond mad. I threw down my finesse rig and picked up a buzzbait and started casting past him between him and the bank. Thing is he had his grandson with him, who I coached in baseball and is my sons age. I didn't wanna just blow up on him. After three or four casts he got the hint and motored on... At the weigh in I asked the director since I was fairly new at tournament fishing, what was an acceptable and respectable distance to pull in front of someone. The common answer was 100 yards or so. Some peoples kids....

Most are nice. Just when others on the same lake keep doing dirty stuff and know it bothers you is when things change. :cheers2

I had a couple teenagers last year in a big black and blue Supra wakeboarding boat cut us off at almost dark last year in front of Ebeneezer park. The wife, dog and I were cruising back in, running our nav, anchor and undergunnel lights and these drunken idiots flew up beside us, turned port side and just stopped. We had to slam our boat in reverse to avoid hitting them. At this point, I started threatening the kids life with my bare hands using all of the most colorful language I could, just to ensure my point was being made. It was in his response of "I didn't even see you there" where his words were slurred that we realized they were too drunk to deal with, so we went on our way.
My only other issue was one day I was Kayak fishing in Nivens and got cut off by two guys fishing a bass tourney. When I asked wtf? Their response was; all things are fair in love, war, and bass tournaments."

Had a bass boat do that to me one day bass fishing( yeah I know it is hard to believe but I was a diehard bass fishermen) he shadowed me and saw me catch a couple and pulled in front of me and started fishing the same bank. I was in a alumunium boat with a 50. I told him if he parked that boat to where I could get to him I would kill his --- on the spot I was so mad. After I blew my head gasket he decided to seek calmer waters. I was so mad I said a few words about his momma trying to get him to park it. No proud but enough is enough

Ive read the posts here and even have some more that I could post.....but the BEST THING you could ever do is pull in your trolling motor and move before you let someone get you riled up. It just aint worth it getting MAD on the water. Kinda makes the whole fishing trip a bad experience if you know what I mean. Catching fish aint worth it if someone is ruining your trip. Besides, if youre lucky enough then you can go somewhere else and start catching them all over again.

Public Waters, I stopped duck hunting when we got sprayed with buck shot when my son was younger. Has happened fishing also but you can move faster and get out. Last year we nearly got swamped by surf boat also, I gave him my piece of mind and he came back around. I was ready if he was but he chickened out. I have water sport toys also and if I see someone fishing I stay away from them.

I think it is how you grow up and how much you are around the water. I grew up fishing and on the water doing everything from barefoot to fishing.

Back to the original question, if you can cast and hit their boat...that's too close. And I believe I would have blown a gasket. I'm a very mild mannered individual and I can brush A LOT of stuff off but if I start seeing red it's not a good thing. I'm certain I would have lost a few jigs attempting to wrap them around someone's neck!

It wouldve got ugly, probably wouldve pulled up lines, started main motor, and start running all over until the wake threatened to sink my deep v

In my younger years I ran a boat onto the bank one night because I thought he was fishing my hooks (I know he was) and threatened to take my boat paddle to them and whoop their butts....glad they were the quite types too because it woulda been ON (candy a_ _es). That isn't the way I want to remember a fishing trip anymore....and at my age I really don't want to put myself into that predicament again because I might not come out on top (have to shoot now...too old to fight!). Anyway, fishing aint worth that. I'd give the guy they spot and just move. I can always put fish in the boat somewhere else (atleast I THINK I can.)

man you guys need to be a little more PASSIVE !!!! :popcorn

Life is too short for confrontation with other fisherman. As crazy as folks are today, they may have a gun. Anyone that grossely rude may shoot, you. With all the public shootings that other person may be a firecracker about to go off. Give them the spot if they follow you get their registration number and turn them over to the local law enforcement.

thanks for all the comments fellers I knew after his comment there was no use going any further wit it
there just aint no use trying to deal with ignorance and stupid especially when they are both in the same box
