I think it is. I think it is good to let people know what is going on. I also think something needs to be said on the water to let the other person know they are interfering with your fishing and if they are in a tournament, also let the TD know.

Most of the lakes are getting crowded now but everyone still should still show courtesy and respect to the other people fishing. Give them some room. It is never acceptable to just move in on top of them.

I've had the reverse experience in tournaments...weekenders dropping off plane and starting to fish a cast in front of me. Even had a catfish dude come around 40ft down the bank, stop, anchor up and toss a scoop of food out while I was fishing a tournament. It's not the tournament or weekender that does it. It's the lack of caring about anyone but themselves at that moment. Fishing can be an addiction and like any addiction common courtesy can get left on the bank.

People should be allowed to post what they like.Its up to the reader to read it or not.

I fished weekend series and everyone I was around was very respectful and courteous, but there is always someone that does whats said above.

And we all know what they say about opinions...

I see plenty of it. I just don't let it bother me. If you're fishing that close to me, I'll just invite you in. It can be talked about and dealt with there. No need to huff and puff on the internet.

I'm with ya Razorback.. We should all more more considerate of others. Eventually, the person will move out and you can move into the spot. True, no spot on any lake is owned but it is in tournament rules to stay a specified distance from another boat. Just be courteous! However, I do agree... I would have casted a big a$$ crankbait into his boat!!! I'm sure I would have caught something!!

I thought this was a forum? So really all of you guys that say he shouldn't post this on the Internet, really should not read it or if you do don't comment about it!!!! I have had this happen to me several times. I handle right then and there but that's how I am. But for yall to say he shouldn't post it here, when this Is a forum about bass fishing is kinda assanine!!!!!!!

Winner winner chicken dinner

You should've spent the next two hours following him around and trying to fish under his boat. Imagine what he would think about that!

Think guys are getting too wrapped up in running home to get on here and complain. I'm sure the Bunco group would love to hear it. Let's hear about the fishing! How did you do?

+1

This is a forum and any topic can be posted up in this section if it pertains to bass fishing! This is a great post to notify all the inconsiderate, unsportsman like anglers who think they own the water, dont own the waters they fish, LMAO!! If it were me in the situation I would have had some choice words for the guy to let him know what I think about his tactics. Maybe this post will give the unsportsman like anglers who read this a clue to what they are doing and change there ways. But then again they might not.

I really can't Believe Someone would even say that this should be ignored because " it happens all the time".

Nobody may OWN a spot on the water, but if they are there first then you don't pull in on them PERIOD. If you do, you are a Low life punk that should have been taught some manners when you were growing up.

I think this is very deserving of a post and encourage everyone to call out these idiots that have no respect everytime it happens.

come to lake fork and catch one fish out on a main lake point then look out!

Greatness.
