Bass fisherman have a bad rep for a reason...

I have always been a bass fisherman in a bass boat and in my opinion it seems if you get 3 or more guys together in boats with their bass boat buddies they seem to feel the whole launch area is theirs they dont discriminate they are [censored] in a pack.

I try and pay attention when Im with my local clubs to ensure if someone else not in the group pulls up we ALL give them the space and help they need.

The 4 others were dinks.

Which ones got the fillet knife?

next time just launch your boat and let it float while you go park your truck...ask one of the guys at the dock to give you a ride out to your boat.....I've done this many times and never had a problem.....

Which ones got the fillet knife?

Only the ones on your boat.

That is actually a great idea, thanks. Although in this case they were all in the parking lot but I will try that next time to see if if works.

Courtesy docks are for launching and loading. Anybody that camps out on them other than the above mentioned purposes is a dumb arse and should be shamed

Nice job.Looks like you had a good day of fishing

Man you stay on fish like that I'll drop you in the water and swim to you. Problem solved.

Looks like you had a dang good day after you were finally able to unload.

this

Amen. And this is another good reason we are a trailering Club

We fun fished Lake Athens yesterday and there was a bass club tourney there. There were probably 20 boats in the water when we got there 30 min before daylight, all were beached or tied up. If you have been to Athens it's pretty crowded around that ramp and parking lot.

We launched the boat, BS'ed with the other anglers, took our time and even had to wait in line at the porta-pooper. But, it wasn't a huge deal. Enjoyed our day, caught a few fish and froze our butts off after the front came through.

We even waved in a guy that was obviously fishing the tournament, into a area of pad stems we were catching fish. He caught a few, we caught a few. Not a huge deal.


The fog was bad until the front hit, but we got into an area and decided for our own safety to just stay in the area where we could idle from spot to spot and not be where others might chose to run.


This is totally my opinion, but what we did was adapted to the situation, were responsible for our own safety and made the most out of our day.


By the way do you have a "KEEP OF THE LAWN" sign in your yard

What a bad idea, except maybe in the best of weather conditions. I don't know where you fish, but at most of my ramps the wind would haul my boat away or the waves would crash it on the shore.

Just lasso around their Mercury....I've done this many times and never had a problem....

No because it would not last 5 minutes before some idiot drove over it after they already plowed my mailbox down as well as my fence. Happens at least 4 times a year, but that is a whole different story.
