You handled it well.

Shut-Up-and-Fish:
Yep, that was me in the Skeeter center console. If you fish L'ville often, you will see me since I fish that lake 90% of the time. You can sometimes find me fishing in a center console Fishmaster - a well known Crappie guru in these parts, he and I fish often. I think the guide was crappie fishing, probably anything fishing since he wasn't doing that well. You would have had to have been there to see him, and yes it wasn't worth my time unless his trolling customer snagged my lines, I would have had to have said something then. But the fact that he did what he did speaks for itself.

I usually do not post much but instead peruse the Forum to learn. I fished Lewisville Dam Saturday, did real good on crappie. Noticed a guide in a bass boat with a couple of customers. They were not doing very well and I watched them slowly work their way towards me. I usually welcome and accept potlickers on the open water so long as they remain respectful and exercise common sense. Fishing around others is a great way to learn, especially since we can always learn something from someone on any given day. The Guide used his trolling motor to get within 10 feet of me. I wanted to say something, but heck I just let the rod and reel do the talking, pulled in 2 more keepers while his customers watched They trolled right by me and picked up a 4" bream. The guide moved on after marking the spot with his side imaging. I hope he learned a new spot for his future customers. I know I have learned from the guides and appreciate them. I only hope he returns the courtesy if someone motors up close to him when he has customers in his boat instead of claiming the open waters around him as "off limits". Decided to let the keepers go since we changed the menu from fish to steaks Saturday afternoon so someone can catch them next time.
