What is up with losers driving through birds I'm fishing next to, or running through an area I'm clearly fishing!? I'm pretty sure one guy was a guide-it's a center console Fishing Master. He powered through a school of whites surfacing near the jetty at 8:00, prime fishing time, and he knew he was doing it. And then some jerk in a pontoon boat motors within 50 feet of two boats, between us no less, trolling and driving the birds of the hunt! I live in Rockwall and pays taxes here- so you jerks if you're on here listen to me- you don't own the lake! It's called etiquette-get some!

I've probably eased within 50 foot of boats to fish before. You need one of those Yosemite Sam mud flaps on your boat that says "back off" that outta keep em off!

Get used to the white fish master that never puts his trolling motor down...

Wait till the jet fleas and my personal favorite the wakeboarders in daddys 50K boats get fired up. Disrespect goes to a whole other level.

Age old problem....like Ron White said, "You can't fix stupid".

Fishmaster has been doing that for awhile now. Once a week on my end. Hire him and u will be trolling all day cause he doesn't know what a fish finder is or what schooling fish look like.

It aint gonna get any better I promise I won't even get on our lake on weekends

If you are talking about Thursday morning, then the fish master boat ran the birds and fish off! The barge that trolled between the boats must have come between me and you! Do fish from a boston whaler? The barge did the same Wednesday morning, complete jerks!

I understand a boat of excited fisherman getting in on the action- just shut the big engine down and troll in or drift. Yes, that was me in the whaler Thursday morning. I was going to hire Carey Thorn for my son, but he had drivers Ed. I thought I would follow the birds, catch some sand bass and save the big hybrids for another day. But ole Fish Master has put hisself on my shot list!

It's really no different on any other lake, if that makes you feel any better. There are a certain group of people on Tawokoni that refuse to use their trolling motors when on schools of fish. They have them right there on the front of the boat. Yet they always seem to pull right up next to me with the big motor idling, and proceed to cast out, catch one fish, then idle off in the direction of the school they just spooked. I usually say something to them, and the response sounds like someone plucking away on an out of tune banjo.

Yep, you can't fix stupid!

The BB boys . The birds and boat show boys. learn to find them on the bottom with depth finder and you will catch twice as many
twice as fast and your blood presure will stay under control. The same on every lake. That is why I refuse to fish them. Every body gets excited this time of the year and it will go on all summer.

My recommendation...do what I do and fish weekday evenings and weekend mornings. If you are still on the water after noon on the weekend dont plan on getting much fishing done!

Fixed it for you:

....and yes he does own the lake!! Haha!! We have nicknamed him but I will leave it alone!!






The trolling guide fishes out of a Nautic Star!!

When that Fishmaster pulls up close to you, ask him if he is following you?

He and I have had that heated conversation before, and this guy is a professional guide. I might need to look up the definition professional in the dictionary.

I have not noticed the guy in the Nautic Star but, I KNOW IT IS NOT A RED ONE !!!

Thanks for the good advice and I hope to see you guys on the water!
