Pics or it didn't happen, make these guys famous.

just wait till everyone is flying drones...

I got no problem if somebody pulls up to that spot not knowing a pro was fishing it earlier but it does seem pretty ratty to pull up there knowing a pro was relying on it and after having watched him fish it for an extended period of time.

If I see someone on a spot I�m not familiar with that�s down a ways from me I�ll check the area out later after they�ve pulled off just to see what they see and how it might fit in the pattern for the season. I�ll mark it if I like it and move on.

I bet your opinion would be different if you had $100,000 on the line.

As long as they arent there when he arrives it is all good. Pulling in after he leaves and fishing would be like trying to find crumbs on the floor after my weiner dog has been there!

This is what happens when you go too far down any rabbit hole of anything in life... Tournament fishing or their expectations of others who don't fish professionally doesn't even register on the radar of 99.9% of the population, nor should it.

+100

Pulling in on a spot where a guy doing it for a living has been catching them is just plain wrong, doesn't matter if you have the "right to" or not. It is just wrong.

It was somebodies spot before it was his spot. Now personally I would let him have it for the duration of the tournament if it was one of my areas but I don't expect everyone to do as I would do. I would agree that the spot jumpers have no conscience but unfortunately it is not a crime to be an ***hole although maybe it should be. At the end of the day I don't think they get to worked up about it because it is an issue they have to put up with daily whether tournamnent, guiding, or just fun fishing. Those wraps are bullseyes for spot jumpers. Had an elite tell me that he should buy a second unwrapped boat for any fishing outside tournaments due to this.

a lot have multiple boats.

Agree 100%.

Come on man,..shows complete lack of class, wait til the tournament is over.

Yall should get into public lake duck hunting. I got into it this year and its hilarious. You think bass fishermen are bad? Duck hunters are 100 times worse. They actually call poaching someone elses spot/bent hole pattern "scouting." They don't look for ducks they look for footprints, brush blinds, old shells, feathers, wads you name it! Had a guy get to a spot at 3 am just because he quote unquote "knew we wouldn't be there that early and he had seen us kill them there"

Hahaha Barrett, the great white duck hunter!! This is EXACTLY why I stopped duck hunting public lakes and now only hunt private land with ponds. Leave the decoys out the day before and stroll into the blind about 6:30 then start shooting at safe light. The right pond will bring you a huge variety off species too.

the term is "boom scouting" and its used quite a lot

Everyone has the rights to fish as they please but not everyone is considerate of others...
