Was out today for a few hours and it was like a different lake. Nobody came close at all, nor did i see anyone bunched up like seagulls…

Pulled crappie cranks and ended up with 8 keepers 11-14 inch, x2 shorts, a few nice largemouth, and several bluegill. Hardly any whites or stripes though. None of the bass had those black blotches (we call it fish AIDS )

Found most of them around 14ft but near the channel. Water temp 67 degrees.

So "funny" how other fishermen get your gps coordinates. Monday, one let the wind almost blow into my boat. " Excuse me did not realize how close I was." Did u get it marked. He admitted he did. Another got close and marked.
Today, one dude marked in square. Easy then to go to center. Then there are the trolling encroachers.
Just the way it is.
Also, With side imaging there are no secrets. 😜

twice last year we had this happen..catfishing our point last year and here comes mr Bass fisherman..in between my boat and the bank.."Im just gonna hit this spot and be out of yall boys way here"..oh he didnt like what i had to say.
Then we fished in the middle of a cove in the channel..anchored down and got to fishing..a Bass fisherman from 70 yrds fishing the bank yells"you must have a real good spot!!" I said "buddy you can cast and reel,cast and reel,all along those banks there..we are out here in this channel cat fishing..you can have all those lil bass you want to catch and release(ugh).."...he shut up and went on fishing.

A few weeks ago my wife and I were trolling and you would think boaters would know that a slow moving boat with poles hanging off the side means we have lines behind us trolling. We trolled across a small fork and a I hooked up. I was was reeling a fish in it was breaking the surface and they kept creeping up from the side and nearly ran my line over and looking pissed because they had to wait.

Then as we were heading in we were still trolling shallow with the motor at idle speed. As we passed by some bass guys with lots of room they decided they were leaving. I made it very clear that we were trolling shallow and how far behind the line was. They proceeded anyways behind crossing in the first 1/3 of our lines. They hit my line giving it a good tug, then crossed my wife's line nearly ripping they pole out of the holder before breaking the 80lb braid. I didn't say anything to them because to be honest I hope they wrapped their lower end. If you're going to be that blatantly disrespectful I'll let events take there course.

Unfortunatly you can't fix stupid

The Most I have seen are rude Tourney fishermen and YES that includes
a day where a Hook1 labeled boat was a Bonehead by rushing in a bay while us normal folks were fishing then powering out cause he is...a bonehead same thing happened with a Tailwater Marine labeled boat While I was in the market.
But its ok cause I will never buy a boat from "Tailwater marine" I was just on the cusp of getting a loan for one there and breaking the bank.

Thank God In the same Bay as the dumb Head Hook1 guy he just about swamped me.

Yeah, I don't think I could get my Lure 11.5 going fast enough to swamp someone. I might be able to do a cannonball off it and get you wet
