One tosses an anchor and drifts back into me, the other polishes my prop. Then after a bit the prop polisher asks if I'll quit smoking because it offends him
Which all it did was make me smoke more, actually lighting one off of the butt of the last, my bloods boiling literally. I catch a dozen to their zero's and just can't take their sportsmanship any more, so I pull out a bit. I ask my prop boys if I can get their phone number, which gets them defensive and I leave. Off for some walleyes, which I was heavily BLESSED in yesterday.
I'm totally in agreement with your sentiments posted here. All very reminiscent of some earlier postings this year on the Kansas board.

For various reasons I have great interests in seeing just where this post will eventually go since there seems to be a very broad range as to what is considered proper fishing etiquette on fishing public waters in Kansas. Just might be a opportunity for someone to write a book on proper fishing etiquette.

Now as for this part IMHO I would think if those other fishers are both unconscious and inconsiderate then there is not a snowballs chance in Hades anything will ever improve their habits and now if they are only just inconsiderate then perhaps there may be some hope for them if by chance they are literate lurkers on here and wish to be considered as ethical fellow fishers.
