Not really. Almost every tournament you fish there is always someone eyeballing you if you are fishing the same general area. I think a lot of tournament trails would benefit from promoting a friendlier atmosphere. Sucks we've made hugs unacceptable in our society. A good hug cures a lot of issues That is true!

getting told you are going to get a gun is different than pulling one out an pointing it at the op if I can cast an hit your boat with a lure you are too close not much common courtesy on the water anymore or on the land with the look at me society we have now. You guys are on crack if someone is to close you can move. Grow up you don’t own water rights . J D

Was shot at during a tournament on Palestine in 2010 in flat creek. Some idiot racked off a full clip from an AR over our heads. We were the only boat back there and out in the middle clearly visible. Game wardens never did anything. Some sketchy humans live around that lake... Jarret- I know exactly where that was...that same guy shot at a buddy of mine back there same way, but he called the GW and reported the guy

If they pulled a gun they were wrong instantly and you call the law. If they just complained amongst themselves about someone coming right in on them and fishing that Is different.
Hard to judge either but if you were 2nd into the pocket, and close enough to Clearly hear them “mumbling” amongst themselves, maybe you were in the wrong and were too close. Not sure why you got angry that they were bothered by your encroachment. And by your own story they didn’t engage you. You simply overheard them mumbling to each other.
This is the problem with “growing” the sport. We’re packed in like Sardines. The people who want to grow the sport are the ones with financial ties to it.

Mentioning anything about a weapon is a receipt for disaster even if they had good reason to be annoyed. I error on the side of caution if any doubt in my mind about space. Don't see any reason to push it. If I see other fisherman on the boat ramp I hope they view me as a good dude. I launch and load by myself and that slows the process when ramps are busy. One run through a cove isn't worth creating tension. Just my way, doesn't mean you didn't have the right to be there. I would have left as soon as I realized they were annoyed and I would not have enjoyed fishing knowing they were annoyed by me.

This is the problem with “growing” the sport. We’re packed in like Sardines. The people who want to grow the sport are the ones with financial ties to it. So nobody ever pulled a gun on OP? He just overheard them say something about a gun? I asked earlier if he had a gun pulled on him why he did not notify the proper authorities. Interesting if he overheard them talking amongst themselves, yet he is so spun out and convinced they are after him. Possible case of snowflakiiness

I bet skeet shooting is a safer activity....

I live on a small lake. Really too small for tournaments. But there's one every Thursday evening. Many times I have been down on my dock fishing and a tournament boat will pull up and start fishing like I'm not even there. Many times they have crossed right over my line. They run right next to the dock to get to the creek. Both of the lights on my dock have been broken off. I have fished hundreds of tournaments in my lifetime, and always treated people with respect. I think the difference is that many of today's tournament anglers don't know some of the unwritten rules of etiquette, or just plain old common sense. We definitely do live in a ME ME ME society.
