I've seen the same thing catfishing. While fishing two poles I caught fish when the guys with 5-6 poles couldn't bank a single fish. One guy came over and asked what bait I was using. Turned out we were using the same bait. I was just paying attention to my business.

yeah they seem to be pole crazy! And if you catch a fish they get shoulder to shoulder with you in the spot so I have learned to be quick and silent when landing a fish!

What gets me is they will spread those 8 rods over half the barge and then get upset if anybody fishes anywhere near the unattended rods.

If the barge was crowded I simply asked whose rods are these. When the owner spoke up I asked, which spot do you intend to fish, where you are at or here. Because I intend to fish one of these spots but will allow you the choice of which spot you want to fish. I'm glad I have my own slip again so I don't encounter this type of jerk.

I would give them tips on how I am catching them and ask them to move their poles so I can show them. Once I caught one, I move on the next "spot" and give tips again, and so on until there are no more fish left. lol sneaky huh?

I have to watch out for fish man with just one pole. He may catch all the fishes I was planning to catch.
