: I went out Saturday and hit my usual spots. I swear, everybody and their mother's were out there. That wouldn't be so bad but I had atleast 3 people boldly come from the middle of the river on their outboards and cut right in front of me and drop their trolling motors and start fishing. I'm talking within 20 or 30 yards of my boat. There was one guy in a red ranger with two young kids who cut in front of me. I was courteous enough to let the ignorant a$$ fish while I went around him while he was using 4 letter words because he missed a little old bass. Then there was a fella whom I'll refer to as skippy who cut in front of me right after that.Blue procraft boat. You know who you are skippy. Face it guys, those may be your favorite spots to fish but if someone else is there you're out of luck. If you're wondering why you didn't catch much in the river saturday it's because I left just about every bass with a sore mouth on friday. The next time someone pulls an ignorant stunt like that I'm just going to keep on course and we'll see how you ignorant and rude folks handle that.
: I'm almost done complaining.
: Another thing that really really bugs me are those nippleheads in those cigarette boats. All they do is go back and forth as fast as they can. Wouldn't they find the lake more suitable for that? You'll see one fly past you and 5 minutes later it's the same nipplehead coming from the other direction. OK, they go fast, then what
JimmyN: You must be new to fishing around here. You don't see us regulars complaining about all the traffic and fishing pressure out there. We learn how to live with it. No one complained when you showed up, did they? Now you think its your water alone. If you don't like it go somewhere else. These waters are way to small to complain about who, when, and where. Post a report not a complaint. My two cents. Edward D. Bohn
