Ok, here goes, it would really be nice if the co anglers would park their vehicles out away from where we need to be parking trucks with boat trailers. I saw 7 vehicles taking up truck boat parking, just because they were to lazy to park up the hill on the grass. Then they get in their boater's truck and can't find a place to park, now how smart is that? If you are early and LAZY go ahead pull down to the floating ramp, stack that 160 pounds of needed equipment by the dock and then drive the car to the grass on top and park. You can then smoke 3 cigg's and slowly make your way back down to the ramp area. Come on just a little courtesy is all that is needed. Ok back to who has the best rod's and other stuff.

sounds like you didn't catch any

Nope, not true, caught fish had a great day, till the motor would not start when it was time to weigh in. But that has happend before and was no one's fault.

Pretty sure I wouldn't want to be your co-angler.

ok Hawk you opened the can, so what in the story makes you thimk a day on the water with me would be awful?

Because it sounds like he's one of the cig smoking lazy ones.

Sounds like somebody peed in you post toasties. Prolly be a little more productive if you were to bring it up to the tournamnet director and have something announced at the meeting.

Tournament boys seem to want to own the lake and parking lot , they are so discourteous on the lake many times and now you complain because someone doesn't leave your tournament fisherman a parking spot - boy is that a deal - correct the tournament behavior and THEN worry about if someone got your spot - these lakes are made for water rights, the public fishing and the public enjoyment - not to cater to promoters , the gamblers, which all Texas tournaments fall under the Texas gambling laws and be glad the public keeps putting fish back in the lake for you to gamble on with their license fees- Tpwl says only 6 % of the people tournament fish so add that up to who pays the bill

I haven't tournament fished in ten years. I got tired of all the things people whine about just like your issue. I fish for fun now.

So let me get this straight.Your boat motor craps out which isnt the 1st time and it leaves you and your co angler holding a sackful of fish?How did your co angler feel about the parking problem Im betting he had to do the walking?Did you guys get to weigh?

I agree totally, not just during tournies though. I see all the time on Rayburn how folks will take up parking places with no boat that are made for boats instead of those for cars. Even worse, instead of taking a middle boat spot where two cars could park and still get out theytake the side ones where you must back out thus only one car per spot making the rampthat much more crowded on nice days.

If I was your co angler I would have been pissed that you don't maintain your equipyment

op sounds like a diva! I'm sure the day on the water with him was a joy.

#1. I was the co angler
#2 I have been in a brand new ranger and the motor would not start on the final hour,so yea again no ones fault motor did not start.

By the way, I only smoke one cigarette walking from the parking lot to the my boat. I have worked my azz off for 40 years and Grout Scout when you have done the same you can call me lazy.
