Some guys, not all, but enough, I think because they have a $50,000 boat that they have more right to the water than a kayaker. Fact of the matter is some of the best anglers in the world are fishing from kayaks now. And out performing those guys who spent $100,000 for a boat and a truck etc. and really have no idea what they're doing as far as actually catching fish. I see it every time I'm on a big public lake. I would ask you give the same respect, or more, to a 12 foot yak as you would a 21 foot glitter boat. He worked way harder to get there than you did.

But I like those. Most bass fisherman are pretty respectful toward kayaks. However, some act as if we are not even there. Gotta check your own tribe before you mess with ours. Comments on here like "I'm going to run over the next one I see" are not productive. There are going to be more. It's a better way to fish. Quieter, greener, more economical. But I guess you have to be in decent physical condition to do it. Probably excludes many Bass anglers in glitter boats.

The bass section is for people who fish for bass, whether it be from a bass boat, kayak, float tube, the bank, or however else one fishes for bass. This isn’t the bass boat fishing section.

Just asking that you and other glitter boats give right of way to yaks on the water. Understand that we pay the same amount to launch a boat as you did; therefore have the same right to use a boat ramp, and be head on swivel when you're going 70mph, because many of us will be going 3 mph. Safety first.

DH, I know yall are buds and all but i am well aware of what this section is intended for. a kayaker coming here bashing so called glitter boat driving out of shape bass guys, claiming they think they are "upper" class is not one of them and offensive to many here.
