Yesterday in a club tournament I saw the range of what has been discussed here about consideration of others. I was fishing back in a small creek, working a point. A guy in a bass boat idles in and stops on the next point ahead of me. Makes one cast, asked if we were fishing a tournament and I said yes., a small club tournament He said he was leaving, didn't want to mess us up. That don't happen often!

A couple of hours later I was working a line of docks. Some idiot ran in and stopped on the dock ahead of me, about 50 feet away, and started fishing them. I told him I was sorry I was fishing his docks. He didn't respond.

At the ramp some idiot in a ski boat had put his boat in and it would not crank. He left his trailer and truck on the ramp while he worked on it, blocking one of the two ramps at 2 PM on Sunday afternoon. Too stupid to move out of the way.

You find all kinds.
 
we were fishing a tourn. saturday , we were down by the hiway 60 bridge when these to dums@$$ pull right up to where we were casting , we could of cast into there boat...needless to say , we never got another bite there....nothing was never said ..but man..i wanted to...they were in a white stratos with red ans silver stripes...johnson 225 motor...if they are members on here...thanks @$$ holes
 
I was noticing that on sat myself at the highway 60 bridge. I was fising on the dayton side, and there were bosats at the johnson road ramp at the mouth goinng into the river sitting very close. Usually its not crowded in that area, but this weekend seemed a little busier. I will say, I'm never trying to "steal" anyone spots, it just takes me and my little boat allot longer than most other boats. If you ever see a light blue boat, just ignore me because it may seem like I"m standing still, but sometimes if the wind just blows right, I'll be on my merry way, if not I have to putt along at a not so brisk pace. Sometimes I think noone fishes around me becauese they don't wasnt the liability if my not so sea worhty looking boat goes unBut I agree, and my neighbor and me was talking about this. I said he was fishing the other night, and someone starting throwing on top of him. Like everyone says, unless I know ya I don't want you all up on me. I may wonder about you if you get too close and I don't know ya.
 
RG, Its great to see that one of the three people you encountered had some manners . Hopefully that will spread but I guess with as many people on the lake\river that we have ,theres always gonna be a large % of idiots
