A buddy and I fished the mouth of dyers creek bank bound last night and let em up, all channels and about 4 good good eaters. We pulled an all nighter and about when 9 o'clock rolled around a bass boat cruised up and sat right in between 2 of our rods about 20 yards off of the bank, he then proceeded to keep his engine on for an hour while he sat there fishing. He took off after about an hour, gunning it and causing wake enough to get 3 of my rods snagged up. He was gone for about a half hour and when he did return he came guns a blazing through the little channel opening and ran over 3 lines, pulling one of my 250 rod reel combos into the river and sank it until I went in looking for it. It's sad to think that there are people out there that don't take the other fisherman into consideration, I was 30 second from driving to the boat ramp and giving him a piece of my mind.

Sounds like a tournament fisherman! Did you get the his boat license number? If you did blast this all over the internet!

How the Cherokee's say Tennessee was made.
There was once a great Buzzard that flew down from the heavens and every upstroke of his great wings created the mountains and the down stroke the valleys of Tennessee.
Then he pulled his Ruger and fired a warning shot across the bow of the
Tourney fisher, That is all.

Unfortunately, that warning shot would cost your Handgun Carry permit, your gun, your freedom for awhile and a whole bunch of money

The mouth of Dyers where it dumps into the Cumberland in Dover? If so, that area is very narrow and has lots of boat traffic. There is a fishing pier at the Lick Creek boat ramp that is in a good area. Dover is becoming more congested....I used to only see a couple of boats out unless it was crappie season.

That's exactly where we were but we were fishing main body cumberland so there was more than enough, at least 3/4 of the river for him to drive through... unexcusable
