Fishing/Boating Etiquette!!!

[DroptineJoe]

Was on an epic wiper bite this morning until these guys decided to cut between my boat and the bank, which was only 25 yds away! Seeing that I was anchored, driving their boat 10 yds from my boat I believe is against the law?
The fish disappeared right after they motored through! This pic was taken after they had spooked the fish and were coming back by on the outside on me at 15 yds!!!

Thats always the way, when the wiper are schooling and pushing shad some DA always gets right in the middle and breaks them up....

Milford has always been very bad when it comes to common courtesy issues. I do remember earlier this year a guy ran over my line as he slowly motored close by. It stripped the line off my reel, I could of cut the line and saved it but I figured he needed 240yds of braided line wrapped around his prop. I knew it was going to be fun for him later getting it off.

Had the same thing happen to me at Melvern yesterday, pontoon coming straight at me as I fished a point. I am waving at him to make sure he is seeing me and it barely turns and goes by full speed at maybe 20 yards from my boat and I am yelling at him and everyone on his boat are waving as they have no clue he did anything wrong. Then on the same point we are fishing a brush pile by staying 30 ft away and casting to it bringing crankbaits over the top. Another boat motors right up and throws an anchor out on the brush pile we are fishing. I am mad now and start my throwing crankbait right next to and off his boat. After about 20 casts he decides to move. In MN I was fishing and catching big slab crappie between an island and a point. You could go on either side so a big 23 footer at full speed goes between me and the island. Almost swamped my bass boat with 2 waves coming over it. I had been throwing a 2 once spoon earlier so I cut off the treble hook and when he came back I fired that spoon right off the windshield. I had everyone tucking and heading for cover after they saw that spoon coming at them. Now you know why I carry a 9mm in my boat now.

They come out in the summer---weekends are the worst---keep your cool.

Just had the exact same thing happen last night at dusk at the point but I think it was just a lack of attentiveness on the park of the boater this time not them going out of there way.

Melvern is bad and Pomona is either equal too or worse than on some weekends. Pomona get a lot of the city idiots that want to get away from the idiots at Hillsdale. Problem is, they are just as bad as the people they are trying to get away from!
We had several instances last night on Pomona. Damn near ran into another boat as he tried to pass me and then cut right on front of me because apparently I was going too slow.... Like there is not 4000 other acres for him to use to pass me.......
