I fished a tourney at squaw with fish killer. By far the worst. Not even a close second.

Crazy story.

Never understood why you'd ruin a good day of peaceful fishing by putting money on the line for it.

I�ve fished ABA on the co-side for many years. I don�t remember a rule about fishing 1/2 day on non-boaters water? Now there was a time when there were not enough co-anglers and boaters had to pair up. Maybe that is what you are referring to, but that went away a few years ago. Boaters go out solo now if co-angler numbers are smaller.

I�ve fished with a few boaters that I wish would have asked where I wanted to try or if I had any fish located. But I certainly don�t offer or make suggestions from the back of the boat.

On Day 1, I did have a boater ask me 10 min before takeoff , (Ram Open 2-day ) if I had anywhere I wanted to start. It startled me a bit. I asked if he knew how to run north and he replied he wasn�t familiar with that part of the lake. We ended up fishing 2 spots on the Main lake I had caught some fish a couple weeks before. It was good for 3 keepers. On the way to �his spot� , I told him to pull over to try 2 docks I do pretty good on. He noses up to the first one and makes 2 casts catching a keeper. To which I said, �you could at least turn the boat where I can cast at the dock I told you held fish�. Only time I�ve ever said anything crossways to a boater. I have drawn good guys and had good experiences as a co-angler 99% of the time.

I didn�t make it back to weighin on Pines one tourney. We were WAAAAYYY up the river and I asked the boater several times how long it was going to take. I was sitting down with life jacket on for 15 min waiting on him to stop fishing and head back. Weighin was 3:15. We didn�t make it back to the 155 bridge until after 3. Just poor planning. I�ve drawn the same guy 2 more times over the years and cashed a check both times!!!

I drew a boater in a bass open, that when I caught a fish, I was told I was not there to catch fish, I was there to make sure his fish were ok,get him coffee, and be his slave for the day......needless to say there were some words over that one for about 5 minutes, then he apologized sort of and I didn't have to throw him off his own boat. That was also the day I decided never NEVER to be a non boater again.
