another skeeter owners and i hurt

my sides are killing me from laughing i had found some good deep fish so sat i get to my hole its still dark and i put my marker buoy out aka boat magnet so soon as it gets daylight my partner says the buoy is not in the correct spot i said just wait you will under stand so now its 7am and here they come boat after boat slowly headed for the buoy im about 100 yards off of it i asked my partner now you see why i call it a boat magnet we laughed all day at the idiots we did get to weight in a over sat and that was the icing on the cake and several boats seen us catch it so i knew they would be there early sunday so i got there first again and put out the boat magnet and the first boat came in then the next one then the third all three were going in circles trying to run each other off my fake spot then one got my buoy in his outboard and i yelled and asked if i could have it back i guess it made him mad when he realized what i had done he showed me i was number one lol

That's great!

We don't use marker buoys, we use decoy buoys.

That's hilarious!

Congrats on the over!

I like your style!!!

Potlicking...it's the new prefishing.

I only wished they knew how stupid they looked doing that, good job!

Now my sides are hurting.

That's awesome!!!

I saw somebody toss a yellow marker buoy without a weight on it. Best I could figure he was trying to mess with people looking for ducks.

Got so aggravated one time about buoy marker , boats constantly rushing to it , end up undoing line and weight , letting it drift . It was amazing .

I just paint mine black

I put out decoy bouys quite often.
If there are only 3 boats on a 10k acre lake one will come over and either fish it or waypoint it.

So that's why I couldn't catch any fish on that buoy I found floating by that boat...

haha. Priceless. I would have been laughing too.

Dam I wish you would not have advertised now I have to come up with another bait

I am just waiting for someone on here to confess to being one of the guys motoring around it!!

I'm gonna have to try that next year. We threw out buoys in a few locations and it looked like we had a sign that read "COME FISH HERE" cause they did. LoL

I must've seen ya'll, or someone else doing this. It was a Skeeter, right?

I did see someone fishing about 25 yards away from a buoy in the opposite direction on the East side of the lake...

That's a great idea! Congrats on the over.

I may have looked as though I was marking someones bouy on Hurley pond dam.
I was going to a waypoint I had marked where a brushpile used to be and was idleing to it with a couple boats to the North about 80 yards to the closest one. As I crossed the waypoint I had my bouy ready to throw out but didn't see any brush on the sonar so I didn't throw it out but when I looked up I noticed a bouy right beside the boat about five feet away.
I moved down the pond dam a ways and fished back towards the bouy and even casted by it a couple times when I got close enough. I sure wanted to catch a fish by it, but two casts is all I could do before a sense of shame set in and I couldn't do it anymore and moved on wondering who put it there and what they may have thought about me fishing near it after idleing by it like I did.
I'm sure I looked like a poacher to whoever owned the bouy.
