This is something I just live with. I will try to talk them into not going right over the fish, and invite them to anchor up beside me. If that doesn't work, I'll just get a bottle of water and a snack and watch a while. If they leave ok, if they don't ok. Life is short and fishing is fun.

I sent PM, I'd rather keep the name out of it. The guy I spoke to was very nice and know it wasn't a reflection on the entire group. I had several boats fish the area and all were very respectful, two got really close, one ridiculously close. My point was he went right where we were casting. Getting close is one thing, going directly where we were casting is another issue to me.
We had just had this conversation regarding high school tournaments and etiquette. I just don't think it's unique to high school, it happens everywhere, at most all experience levels. I'm sure it's best to ignore them or politely discuss it with them. If they want to argue then I have zero respect for them and will defend my opinion but that's just me.

The PC term would be victim I believe Not well versed in it so Sarg, are you referring to me? You don't have to be PC to me, I wasn't' a victim to anything and I'm not in to the PC stuff. Saying that, I'm not one to sit there and not say a word. Just an open discussion on how others handle this situation. I grew up fishing a lot in Tennessee and was on the water most of the time. Got out of it for many years but now me and my son fish a lot. Joined the military, married, kids, typical stuff that stops a lot of activites. I don't know it all by any means but I'm respectful of others fishing and will not park my boat where others are fishing. I may not be smart but I'm smart enough to have some respect and common sense.

Point is you didnt PC compromise,you engaged Regardless of method you werent a coward,props to you for that IMO! Its every mans choice to sit when they [censored] or not . . . . . Clearly seen now who does and does not POINT REMAINS! . . . . you are to defend your position and not go with the flow of PC dilution. Strong work Sir! I sent PM, I'd rather keep the name out of it. The guy I spoke to was very nice and know it wasn't a reflection on the entire group. I had several boats fish the area and all were very respectful, two got really close, one ridiculously close. My point was he went right where we were casting. Getting close is one thing, going directly where we were casting is another issue to me.

It's hard to say what I would do in your situation; especially with your son on board. I know I would say something; more in amazement rather than anger. I would probably mention that I too can follow you around and make sure that I could interfere with your fishing for the rest of the day. I have a full tank of gas and I'm not fishing in a tournament.

Sarg, No offense amigo, but if the reason you open carry on any body of water, is just in case someone gets too close when you're fishing, or because of "ramp issues the roof mounts come out" hahahaha. Did I serve? " position qualifier... sorry for getting this off topic fellas, but I can't imagine some nut, thinking that the pistol on his hip is going to make people act like it's your lake. You might need to be medicated

not a big fan of the open carry . Seems almost like your looking for problems . Not you in general sarg but the whole open carry ordeal unless your in a really bad area which still could backfire in most scenarios . I like the element of surprise . [censored] KA BOO bad guy say hello to my para ordanance lol ... But boat ramps and everyday confrontations with a holes is where I go put it up in the truck cuz you don't want some thing stupid happening in the heat of the moment . Ya know ?
