I used to fish the McDonalds tournaments,we never had these problems.Everyone played nice,stayed at least 200 yrds. away,applauded when a fish was landed.Just the best experience I ever had.Then I would wake up from that dream and face reality of a zillion boats in Birch creek.

In my first and only Skeeter tournament, the sun came up to about 20 of us sitting on the same hump. Everyone was sharing as best they could. One boat pulls in and starts just weaving in and out of the other boats. There were times that boat had to be within 10 yards of another. All of us started giving each other WTF looks--we had all been sharing fine up to that point. Someone finally says something and the guy in the front of the boat just acts like he doesn't hear. His partner in the back hung his head like he was embarrassed. This went on for about 30 minutes.
Most people are throwing a c-rig with big sinkers. I see one guy start throwing real close to the intruder's boat trying to get his attention. I tell my partner that it is about to turn into a rodeo. Then all of a sudden old boy rears back and sends a 3/4 ounce sinker off the cowling of the intruder's boat. It sounded like it knocked a hole in the cowling. The intruder didn't say anything. He just turned his trolling motor to 10 and headed out to the edge of the armada. We still laugh about it.
If someone knocks a hole in my cowling intentionally, someone is getting their azz beat... whether its you or me... someone will get beat up.

It's always ok when it's someone else isn't it.
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed. Conscience never acquits, it either accuses or excuses.

Try fishing the dam area early morning during McDonalds... looks like a highway up and down the dam... we just all end up talking shop and catching fish... hoping its that 15-16 incher! Id say the boats are realistically all about 20-30 yards apart for most part. Just have to accept it for what it is and know its goijng to be that way ahead of time. Good luck!

Lol we had an old man idiot throw a Carolina rig and hit about 10 feet or less from the boat. We were there first and he acted like he was mad at us. Then his old arse threw and crossed my sons line and got tangled and of course he was pissed about it. Unreal

I once saw a video called "How to win a fight in Compton". The guys would pick a fight and the moment before the fight started they'd strip down to a Speedo. Most people ran away from them. I don't know if this strategy would work, but it'd be pretty dang funny! Don't know if i could focus while getting heckled by a red neck in a speedo. This is also referred to as the Hanes defense

We launched about 5:40 and idled over to our starting spot in Little Mustang. Did not have a boat within a 1/4 mile of us. Fished where we wanted all day with no issues. People were nice and fish were biting. Only spots stacked up was the community deep spots really. We caught fish all day and the big slot fush were eating good. Very fun day on the water.

Im surprised how casual everyone is about this in North Texas. Etiquette is the backbone of a civil society. Without it comes chaos. Fork sounds like the Wild West.

Everyone was very respectful today, with boats everywhere. Had a great morning, slowed down after 10 for us.. Had a great time, sorry to hear of rude behavior, it happens. This will be my last SOT. It looked like the McDonalds out there today.. I hate fishing in that much traffic, just moving from spot to spot was uncomfortable... Good luck to everyone tomorrow. Be safe, be smart, and most of all, be lucky.
