[But it does remind me of fun fishing in your boat at Fork and you wanted to fish a bank in Ray Branch that another guy had been working back and forth for an hour or so and you decided to go to the other end and work towards his boat, when he was clearly doing the same thing he had been doing for an hour. I made it clear it was embarrassing to be "that guy" , or with "that guy" that cuts someone off. Sounds like this was the same type scenario, I guess perhaps it was destiny that you got "cut off".

Rule #2. There isn't a rule about being cut off or fishing too close....but there is rules about Angler Code of Conduct.

Every pro I fished around was very respectful of the spot you were fishing except one. I have never seen anything as bad in any tournie or even fun fishing.I was parallel to a bank and was within casting distance to it.My co caught a fish and 5 minutes later I catch a fish.A boat that was 50 or 75 yards away and saw this put his TM on high and came towards us.He circled around behind us within 30 feet.I thought he was passing us to go up the bankline a little.That was fine.But as he passed behind us he made a quick move toward the bankline and actully began to cast between us and the bankline at the exact spot we had just caught the fish.I came unglued and began yell at him loud enough for three other boats in the area to turn and look at what was going on.He then quickly moved on.I guess he could tell I was not really a "pro" and wouldn't say anything and he could get away with it.I don't know the guys name but he sure made an arse of himself in front of his fellow pros.

sounds like you guys have this all figured out? Yes i know they are all public lakes and you are free to fish them ANYTIME you want. I was brought up bass fishing ty and was taght ethics and respect. There are pleanty of other places to fish when there are ty going on no need to burn fish that may help some one fishing that ty. Sound like some of you guys cant find your own fish so you go out during a big ty and hit way points. I remember just last summer i pulled up to a launch and there was a bunch of bassboat and asked if a ty was going on and seen a coulpe guys i have fished against they said yes so i went to a different lake. I had a few guys come up to me throughout the summer and thanked me for leaving. Guys just remember what goes around comes around.

Does it really sound like the same scenario Doug? I go to the other end of a bankline almost quarter mile long[check your map] and I pull in behind him,not in front,on the furthest point on that bank sounds like the same scenario?? Thats your issue??

No Doug,I think your issue is I dropped you as a partner.You need to get over it.

I am sorry we have not been able to remain on a better level of friendship.Lets let this go for good.How about it?
