Pretty windy to say the least and some terrible etiquette from a ditch pickle fisherman ended my day with on a sour note. There were 4 boats patiently waiting to load up when this douche in a real pretty ditch pickle boat came in and decided he was gonna jump in front of everybody. He proceeds to back his truck and trailer down one side of the boat ramp while there was an elderly man that was having trouble backing his boat in and crowding him to say the least. The elderly man was doing everything he could do to try and back down straight but it wasn't happening. So instead of helping this probably 80 year old man, like any respectful person would, he just continues on with his ditch pickle arrogance. The wind is blowing probably around 18-20 , he has cut in front of 4 other boats, been rude to an old man, and then decided today was the day he was gonna teach his wife to load the boat. After about 8-10 failed atttempts and probably an honest 20 minutes , he decides to go ahead and load it up after she almost loaded it backwards on the trailer . I usually just let the arrogant ones go ahead since they are so special to this sport that we all love and let it go because it really isn't worth the argument. By this time I had gone and gotten my truck and trailer and was next in line. As he pulled up from the ramp, he said something like he should have just let her keep on until she got it right. I just told him that I didn't bring my sleeping bag and tent for the night and was glad he didn't . He just pulled away. I loaded in about 2 minutes and was met by the game warden for a routine check. He was extremely nice and all was well. Pretty weird how being checked by the game warden makes your day better. Rant over

The bass guys think they are the privileged class because they pay more for their glittered boats and go faster.

Well when I was working I was a ditch pickle guy. Having a paid for boat and no job now I can just watch the arrogant ones make themselves look like idiots. Sorry the guy disrespected the older gentlemen on the ramp. I am an older guy and many folks have offered to back me into the lake and other things. Most fishermen at Fork are fairly respectful in my experience. Now there are some arrogant "pros" you know the ones with the 300 hp motors that are wearing their purchased patches to the lake lol. So now in retirement I do avoid the weekend fishing at Lake Fork. I take weekends off to. Rest and go to church.

The other day I was sitting in the wet slip in a small no wake zone cove. clearly marked. One of the testosterone glitter boys and his friend came through there at about 25% throttle really throwing some water ( I guess the idiot doesn't know that doing that throws a bigger wake than on plane) I just held up my arms like WHAT THE HECK! So glitter boys feels the need to then do boat doughnuts right in front of the slips. Real manly class act. I let it go, I'm not a big guy with a few health issue, my side arm was up in the cabin.

Cell phones have cameras and the game warden's phone number is easy enough to store. That would fix a lot of the problems generated by the privileged class. I would not hesitate to report any moron who was causing a problem on the water, and it would even be that much more fun if it was a punk with a glitter boat.

I've never had anyone jump in line ahead of me (call me Lucky, I guess). But I think I would back my boat down in front of his truck and tell him I'm not moving until you go to the back of the line like everyone else.
