Thread: Is etiquette on the water a everyday thing

Can’t fix stupid ! But I wouldn’t have left ! I’d try to have been nice and let him know My intentions and that He could get line or we would see who had the strongest line!

Mitch nailed it. I went to ramp. There was three trucks and trailers with boats loaded blocking both ramps. I ask them nicely to pull up so I could launch. They told me when they fing finished talking they would would be glad to. Waited fifteen minutes for them to move. I can’t understand people. They have no respect for themselves or others any more. I break my neck to stay outta others way. SMH.

Be nice, show a good example, lets not encourage road rage. just sayin', no intention other than to calm everyone's posting so it don't get out of hand. Thanks all, and above everything, stay safe.

It is said the amount of disrespectness people have these days. You see it everywhere. I live next to a church. Since the corona virus they have services outside in the parking lot. Large speakers set up blasting the sermon. While getting set up the preacher says over the speakers that they can probably here me three miles down the road. I get to hear this in my house which I find to be very disrespectful. Instead of clapping for applause you get the horns blowing on 50 cars. Sure makes me want to drag out the chainsaws and do some cutting to return the favor. Yet 2 wrongs don't make a right

One solution, while not politically correct, nor socially correct, nor what your mother taught you, but well deserved would be to reel in the your lines closest to his boat & lines, then crowd him just like he crowded you. Do it a couple times and he might get the message, but then might not either. Or you could have cruised up to the other end and gotten some distance between you and him, and continued fishing. He should have been the one to wait for you to make your turn and give some space, and then followed you. JMO.

Perhaps he was a newbie and didn't know what to do. You don't know what you don't know. It could have been a good teaching moment.

Thanks to all who answered. some good ideas, just hope it doesn't happen.

These type of situations tend to go away after the spawn. At least that’s been my experience.
