I usually bank fish. I will let disrespectful bass fisher (or any other boat angler or pleasureboater) sppol my whole reel and let them have fun untangling it from thier trolling motor.

When I am on a boat, (being a bank fisherman mostly) I avoid bank angler out of respect for thier very limited spot on the bank.

I still think bass fisherman are the worst but I had a run in 2 weeks ago on the Mountain Fork that I never expected. A fly fisherman fishing the hole below me thought he would be better off standing in my hole casting down to where he was. I was fine as long as he stayed close to the bank and did not try to get too far out. The problem came when he decided that my hole was better and started casting across right in my drift pattern. After I shot a few scowls his way he finally went on upstream.

Why you ask? Because we can. And the other fisherman are complaning about us? Yea right, I see these guys all the time, and they are always showing me I am #1

P.S. Do not adjust your monitor, We can also control all you see and hear in Bass chat rooms



I am just wondering, is this a serious post, or, are you making fun of the bass fishermen? If this is a serious post, someday you'll find out that you do not own the lakes.

Man these days if your cowling is off, and you are waving madly, I would be scared to come closer then 100 yds, for fear I may be broaching your fishing space.... And possibly called A hole of the week. I will be on Fayette this weekend, I'm sure my boat and another will be too close to each other at some point. I want to apologize for this in advance, and I will most definitely not try to make conversation. When I am idling to and from the park, and some guy has a line 75 yds out from the dock, I would like to apologize to that person right now.

Goes both ways I have had just as many run ins with kayaks and jet skies and bank fisherman as I have bass fisherman it is just a lack of common sense. Now mind you I am a bass guy and I know some of the thinks they do are stupid but I hate when they run on pad under bridges and there is crappie fisherman under there. But lets talk about bank fisherman fishing boat ramps now that is a lack of common sense.

I do not do much bank fishing but was killing time at camp once. I had some shad left over from going out in the morning and was fishing a poing with a submerged tree. There was a bass tournament going on and this guy roars in to the cove, shuts down the big motor and before his wake washes up on shore he has thrown off his life jacket and put his TM in the water. As he pulls within casting distance of the submerged tree I am fishing he looks up and says "catching anything? there is normally a good one hanging in here". I just looked at him and reached in to my bucket and pulled out a 6.5 lb bass and said there was. You should have seen the look on his face. He slammed down his rod and cranked up the big motor and took off. I guess I had HIS fish. I loved every minute of it.

Try being a guide. I spend a lot of time making brush piles and keeping up our fishing area so that my clients can have a great time. But every year there will be some jackhole that thinks since I have clients in the boat and we are catching fish that he has the right to be right on top of us. Used to let it get to me, now it just makes my clients mad. None of us own the water but a little respect will always go a long ways!

I bass fish everyday on the bank or in the boat. If I am in the boat and someone is on the bank or on their dock fishing or not I wont bother them. I just go to the next dock or hole. I think it has to do with these arrogant jack wagons that have absolutely no respect for anything and their smug attitudes. Why cant we all just get along and fish?

Its not just bass fishermen. I have had all types move in on me. I usually don't mind if they move in after a friendly conversation. Heck I watch what they do and may learn something. Having said that, I live on a small lake and have a nice dock. If I am out there I expect someone to ask me before they plop a bait right down in front of me. If not, I immediately pick up a brick (I have a bunch sitting on my dock at all times) and hurl it right at their bait. One brick and they get the idea. I also carry a few in the boat when I'm out. You will notice, I am not about to throw a brick at somebody, but when its hurled at where their bait just hit the water the message is sent sure enough. One last note, I have only done this on the water twice and three times from my dock so this really isn't that big of a problem as I see it.
