I fish Falcon out of my red & white Bass Cat and I NEVER have anyone come in on me like you guys are always talking about on Fork.

I posted the other day about not having any problems on Fork myself, but your story just jogged my weak memory. Two springs ago I had a guide cut in front of me at a distance of 50 yds. They dropped the trolling motor and started working the same direction I was. Being a little upset I kicked my TM in high and went about 50 yds around them and started fishing. On the second cast I boated a five pounder right in front of them. They left after that.

If you're a non competitor and they're fishing a tournament. See if you can find out what tournament it is and let the TD know. A few DQ's may change some attitudes

haha dude thats BAD. ive had a guide pull up on me and start casting so close that the splashes from his c-rig were hitting me. but no you were not wrong in the slightest. just chalk it up to charity for those who cant find fish themselves. there is a guide at Squaw like that... Any ways I think rod length or even 2 boat lenghts is to close

I am an avid bass fisherman, live 45 minutes from Fork which is arguably one of the best bass fishing lakes in the world and I have not even bothered fishing there in around 5 years. I used to go several times a year but there is just too much good water around to mess with the bad eggs I always seemed to run into up there, ESPECIALLY in the spring.

I was making a joke about the red & white Bass Cat. I thought it was funny and that is the standard by which I measure all of my jokes.

Im sorry I am just not that easy going and my wife can vouch for that, I absolutely would have been casting the biggest crank bait I have into their boat. I did that one time with her in the boat with me and she about crawled under the console but I feel if they don't already know good manners they can be taught. works on ski boats and jet skis too

That is bad for sure but Fork is not even close to being the worst lake for getting cut off by folks. Monticello is much worse.
Cutting in front of someone that close is bad enough but I think running over you while you're trying to fish a specific spot is worse. Guys at Monty will idle over your line between you and your casting target rather than go around you where there is 5 times more space of open water. I swear they are totally clueless there in the winter!
It is like the Guys That Fish Twice a Year wait until December then come to Monticello. It is bad.
