Fished basschamps today we was idling in a cove and here come a dumb A🐴🐴 on pad he was so close to us when he went by I got wet from the spray on the side of there boat some people just don't care

Sounds like your were on the tracks as the train was commin through..... Some places you gotta keep going or it's tough to get back on pad

I bet there was a lot of stories like this one out there today. The bad thing is they probably did not think twice about it and it was your mind for a while. Makes for bad fishing.

We was in sand branch half way back it was a dumb move I thought if they hit at stump just right the could have been in the boat with us

If it was me, white Triton TR-186 below, I am sorry, I did see someone coming out of Sand and thought I gave enough room for the one idling. If I were to drop, I would have put a huge wake rolling into them. I was about 100 yards from the Hazard Pole on the inside lane (I have idled and marked a clear lane at this level from the poles on the South Side to the first point on the Southern Fork of Sand Branch).

Not you I think it was a skeeter or a ranger gray and maroon 2 power pole

Wow, sad that tourneys are coming to this. I sold my Harley cause I want to see my grand kids grow up now I have to worry about getting run over by a greedy bass fishing dude

We quit fishing Champs years back because of this rampant type rule breaking BS. We had people run wide open right by us thru no wake buoys to get ahead of us into an area and get within a rods length or go behind and fish on boat docks we were fishing the front of. Bigger payout money seems to make some folks into bigger idiots.

I must have fished around all the nice guys on the trail. Had a goodtime, didn't do worth a carp though. LOL. We fished in Wolf Most the day and struggled early with a few coming loose. We were pretty close to 4 other boats and everyone worked well together. Sorry for your experience.

Yep, same here, was surrounded by boats all day long but never encountered a bad attitude or anyone that didn't want to chat.

Same here, everybody I ran across were good guys.

I'm guessing the marina was not off limits today. Never seen so many boats fishing in there.

only the docks were off limits.

Some people simply need full-time proctologists.

You could always get out of the way when you see somebody coming on pad that way those of us that know where to run don't have to shut down.

Just a thought.
