Ever do any combat salmon fishing///////Oh my... Back in Cali the salmon would run up the American River to the Sac river and you could walk from boat to boat to each side. It was ridiculous

There are definitely a few that stand out that give others a bad reputation. I always try to be courteous to others around me, tournament or not. Believe it or not, some of the nicest guys I know are bass fisherman.

Bottom line if you can throw your bait ( with the style you was using before they showed up be it horizontal or vertical and they don't get hit without going the extra mile just trying to hit them then there is nothing wrong with a good neighbor.
If you are a crybaby whiner then go find a different hobby and stay away from the lake!!!!

Although Ive some problems with other boaters (not just Bass fishermen) my biggest problems have come (after water/jet/tube skiers)from guides. Ive had several move in on me, both while I was in a boat and using float tubes, and when questioned seem to have the attitude that since this was their job they had the right of way.

I complained on here (tff) once about bass guys dragging through my lines while I was bankfishing.
His response?
"I make more money than you, and bass fishing brings more money to the state than your fishing"
awesome.

I know as a boater I try to respect the space and water of the bank fisherman. I feel blessed to own a boat and realize that there are many people who can't.
I will say that when I have had issues it is simply because I didn't see the guy on the bank. When I am off the shore and casting it is hard to see a line that is mostly invisibile and a rod that is sticking up that is between a 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick. Often times the rod is stuck in the ground or on a holder and the guy fishing is up the bank in the shade somewhere.
The point of this is don't take it personal. If I somehow mess with you it is not because I am arrogant or think I am somehow better or more deserving because I have a boat. It is simply that I didn't see you at first.

I always give the bank fisherman their space and troll way wide around them. The way I see it, I have the whole lake to fish whereas they are pretty confined to one area.
FISH ON!!

Your observations are shared by many but it boils down to the "haves" and "have nots"
That guy with the fancy boat and expensive gear might believe he is more entitled to something because of what he has invested in it.
Some fisherman fish for dinner and others for fun or profit and that is the American way so it seems, but that doesn't excuse bad behavior or manners on the water.
I don't care if a guy is using a pop bottle and a sting to catch dinner because what he is doing is much more important then those of us fishing for fun or profit... We have so much in this world to be thankful for, living in the US of A but we sometimes forget and fight over the stupidest of things or issues like a bunch of spoiled brats.. People are many things and ever changing and learning hopefully to be better.
Well said hook-line&sinker.

I think it is a sign of our times and as in everything there are people who are not knowledgeable about what is right or wrong or don't care. The tournament we were fishing on Sandlin 2 weekends ago, we were fishing down a set of stumps and docks and catching fish. Crappie fisherman I presume, was in a nice bass boat with his kids pulls up and ties up to the stumps about 5 yards from where we were fishing. I had a cable come off track on my TM, and was having to fix it and they were with in reach of exchange tools if needed. So, it is with all types.

I think it boils down to parenting. I was taught at an early age to respect anyone's fishing area and to this day I still do. So it's not about Bass fisherman it's about the lack of parenting....
my two cents

Have you ever fished schooling white bass???? now that is a wow experience. I think as the lakes get more crowded the problems just go up and it is not just bass fisherman. When I have a problem with bass fisherman is if there is a tournament. I know on Fork they harrass crappie fisherman on occasion. It is not even worth crappie fishing in open water when there is a tournament going on. I have been told that I should not even be out there if there is a tournament. I THINK THAT TOURNMAENTS SHOULD BE BANNED ON PUBLIC LAKES. Tournamnents are hard on the fishery and someone is finally starting to prove it.

I am sure most boaters (fishermen) are legal, lets start with haveing the GW check every bank fisherman everyday. Then lets see who pays the TPWD more money.
