i didn't see it in the bass forum, did it get deleted? got a link? thanks

I would probably try to screw it up trying post the link, but it is the thread titled "Seems it's not just bridges and boat lanes".

Here it is

Wish you could have got his tag number. Someone will see him at some point and get them. I totally hate that happen. He will get what's coming to him.

I would outfish that guy any day of the week in a tube, kayak or boat. In fact that would have been the perfect time to catch a fish, while he is looking at you. He is not mentally prepared to be on the water. And his use of profanity towards you indicates that he is not proficient in using the English language, and needs to make up for his stupidity by using profanity. Loser, he'll get his in the end.

bigred & I were on LA anchored down with our lights on one night.
Same boat came waaaaay too close to us TWICE in the same night.
Have also had pleasure boaters run over my lines while trolling.
Once time opened my spool & gave them all of my braid.
Most stay clear and r respectful but a handful need a good attitude adjustment and
should not be able to captain any vessel. When im on my seadoo or powerboat I do my
Best to give everyone plenty of room to roam. Its not "my" lake or "my" hole.

I guess I've been lucky, or just far enough away from a big metro area, or just because I fish smaller lakes and rivers, but so far I haven't had anything but pleasurable experiences with boaters. Maybe it's just because I haven't been yaking for long. I've had boaters slow down and wave as they pass, power down and idle past while chatting with me, offer me a ride back when the wind picked up a lot, even had a boater give me a couple flukes he had been having good luck with that particular day. The only time so far I've had a boat fly by me I was tucked under a low hanging tree and hard to see. He saw me just as he was passing and yelled out "Sorry bud" with his hand in the air.

It's too bad there's folks like that around. They aren't just on the water though, they're on the road too and act just the same. Now that spring/summer is coming more and more people will be using the water. The polite, the oblivious, the rude, the ignorant. We cant control other peoples actions so just like while riding my motorcycle we've got to practice "defensive driving" and always assume your invisible.

I think you handled this as good as you could have given the circumstances. You did the best you could to record the event, gathered information on him, reported him and made it public for all of us to both learn from and possibly find him/call him out on his immature and unsafe behavior. Judgment day comes for us all.

I have had quite a few boats run to close turn into the wake and ride up and over them. Just sad when a jerk like this ruins a nice day on the lake

To the OP.
Feel you Bro.
Had -BASS-Fishermen-. Run over me also. Not only in. My Kayak;\ Also -\ Bigboat.
They -WILL- Cut your Trotlines!!!. They will- Run OVER you JUGGS!
They will , mash in on you. While you are set up over Crappie.
Bass-Punks!!!! are ignort, rude. And have no respect, for others.
Innvolved in the blessing of fishing.
Godbless.

I'd like to set up shop and wait for this guy to come back. Give him a good ol country boy whippin

Say again?

What it is. Is what it is.

seriously? Not all bass boat guys are like this. Some of the nicest and most respectful guys I know are bass boat guys. Don't get it twisted. Some kayakers are a holes also.

I haven't met any "a-hole" yakers yet. That doesn't mean non are out there.
But I have seen my share of "a-holes" in a big boat acting as if they owned the lake.
That being said, I have met plenty of nice people in boats too.
Aholes come in all shapes and sizes, get around in all kinds of rides.
just sayin......
