get 'em darenative!!! no tolerance for ignorance.....especially twice in a short period of time!
To each his own but in that situation he needed an earful.Yep. The guy in my post above motored/churned past us in a dead end creek at fast idle, got 100' ahead of me and deployed the trolling motor leaving the area around us a muddy mess. We left the creek and were fishing a point outside the same creek and 5 minutes later the guy is on top running out of the creek, sees us and runs 65- 75' ahead of us and kills the engine and deploys the trolling motor. That's about the time I could feel the vein in my forehead popping out and couldn't keep my mouth shut. The guy actually looked shocked that someone had balls enough to say something to him about it.
I've been fishing those same creeks for the better part of 40 years and it's only the second entitled DB that I've had to interact with.
think my guy and your guy are relatedTo each his own but in that situation he needed an earful.
I suppose there is a kind way to get the point across but what fun would that be?
My last similar encounter was slightly worse in that he pulled past then worked toward me.
So he waked me up; then cut in front; then came towards me. All for the sake of a rocky corner in a tiny creek. Barely fifty yds from me.
So the conversation on my end was "Do you not know any better or do you just not give a poop?'
His response was classic. "How about I know better but dont give a poop."
My rejoinder was "Well that makes you just a piece of poop."
So silly but he does not get in the way now.
This is freshwater stuff, how yall survive in the salt with that zoo is beyond me.

and no commercial kills up here. LOL.Yeah, it sucks down here. Fishing isn't very good, and way too many boats in this "zoo".
Need to try the new color of the monthhave to wonder if the slow down in those spots is due to the fish having seen every make/model/color mirrolure, x-rap, z-man, gulp available over the last month?
those are the best kind of trips. Good Luck!Yeah, everyone I've talked to who has been trout fishing hard this summer/fall have agreed that it has slowed down significantly the last 10 days/2 weeks. The typical hot spots have been absolutely hammered. I have to wonder if the slow down in those spots is due to the fish having seen every make/model/color mirrolure, x-rap, z-man, gulp available over the last month?
I'm pretty confident they're stacked up in a few spots that I know, but the problem is everyone else knows the spots too. I just don't like jockeying for position with double digits boats within 150 yards of me.
Got my eye on a couple of creeks to try this weekend that have no boat ramps in them and require a pretty decent boat run. Will be a "hero or zero" trip.
do you ever wonder if the slowdown in those spots are due to most of the trout being dead, as in caught and ate versus just not biting?Yeah, everyone I've talked to who has been trout fishing hard this summer/fall have agreed that it has slowed down significantly the last 10 days/2 weeks.

Na, the water temp has been up and down all fall. We need it to stabilize and the fish will be predictable. The water in my spots got up to almost 60 in the past week. Instead of being in the creeks our fish were suspended on points and drop offs in open water..same spots they were 6 weeks agodo you ever wonder if the slowdown in those spots are due to most of the trout being dead, as in caught and ate versus just not biting?

Is it really that crowded down there in December?I'm pretty confident they're stacked up in a few spots that I know, but the problem is everyone else knows the spots too. I just don't like jockeying for position with double digits boats within 150 yards of me.

I caught trout and spot tail bass on one this year but it was in florida. the idiot bait of choice down there i guess.Went Saturday afternoon and caught a limit it was real slow, being a smart ass i put on a little white beetle spin and caught a 19" trout on 1rst and only cast. I thought I better quit while I was ahead.
That means they're catching them on hard baits lolTalked to a couple different outfitters taking people trout fishing and said they were having best luck with soft baits, which ones I don't know, didn't want to pry to much.
You're killing meA good morning.View attachment 38278
