I have fished 3 of these large Big Bass tournaments and have not had any problem with others. Maybe its because I don't move around much, I get to an area and pretty much fish it all day. I pay to put in at private ramps close to the area that I plan to fish. I have had knuckleheads cut me off and do other rude stuff several times on any given Saturday. But this is not just on Fork, they are everywhere. The thing is I just laugh and go on about my fishing, there's no sense in getting worked up about something like getting cut off. So, I will be out there again this year doing my own thing and hoping for that first big bass tournament over to tug on my line!

Where are the game wardens when you need 'em?...Oh wait, they'll all be at the ramp writing tickets for fish brought to the weigh-in that are 1/16" over.   Were the Game Wardens supposed to pull the guy off the stump and load the man's Ranger for him? I just don't get the hate for the Game Wardens at Lake Fork. Reckon' they might have been out doing their jobs and checking teal hunters? Or maybe investigating a felony poaching case? SMDH! http://tpwd.texas.gov/newsmedia/releases/?req=20150821b&nrtype=all&nrspan=2015&nrsearch= Don't get me wrong the guy in the brown Legend boat had me jealous and wishing I had one. It was obvious he knows how to drive. As far as the game warden, he has checked me at the ramp and it was a pleasure talking with him. He a good dude, knows his job and does it well. Stay safe.

I used to fish it but the year I was leaning over the side to get a fish and a guy let his boat drift into mine and I went in the lake. All the guy did was say woops and went on leaving me to get out on my own. When I went in after the tournament I said the rule on how close a boat could get to another needed to be put back in I was told there were too many boats to do that. That was my last time and the next year a real bad thing happened just too many fools out there during this one.

I made the mistake of showing up on Friday afternoon before the Big Bass Splash a few years back because I was unaware it was going on.......never again.........

No doubt the ramps are all entertaining but the ones used predominately by skiers and wake boarders provide the most head shaking.

I heard there were over 2500 people there. For that many, it really didn't seem that bad except in the boat lane at the end of the day. When you can only run 30mph, you realize how many people are running those lanes very quickly.

Think I may show up with my boat covered and all rods tackle and fish finders in truck back to the edge of the water on the one lane boat ramp and then get the boat ready. When I finally get everything perfect in the boat back it in and get it off the trailer and then put back on the trailer and pull up to just double check the plug is in. Then back in the water get off the trailer do a test run then beach the boat, take a whiz, walk back to truck, then walk back to boat because I forgot keys to truck, back to the truck to park but when I pull up, I pull up just out of water and get out and make sure all lag bolts are tight on bunks and check my lights work. Then park the truck and the ask everyone in line how the fishing has been and if they would if I followed them around because I have never been on the lake.
