Message: <blockquote data-quote="sweeney" data-source="post: 171411" data-attributes="member: 453">The river is a bad bad bich and there is limited navigation room in certain spots, If you are going to fish main channel spots or just off main channel be prepared to get buzzed. Me being a lakey, river fishing can get the anxiety and /or blood pressure up. Last weekend I had a guy drive right over the bar I was pitching admittedly I landed a jig a couple feet from his boat as he drove over the spot with his 300, no words were exchanged but I think he realized his mess up after every other boat that came into the hole went down around and came back up into the hole. We had a couple old timers troll cranks right on the sand bar kicking up sand the whole time with their old evinrude. It doesn't pay to get pissed, a lot of guys don't fish the river much or they fish it a lot and just don't care about other boats or don't know they are messing up. A lot of the time it is hard to figure out what is going on if you are new to the river or don't have the latest gear(Anchor button, gps,  powerpole, talon, etc) if three boats are drifting with the current and 3 boats are anchored up pitching to the bar, and there are 4 guys trying to pull cranks it can become a cluster and frustrating. As far as tourney anglers I think most of us will give up a spot to a family that is fishing or non tournament boat that is struggling to control their boat, or try to give them a subtle tip as to what is going on, just due to the fact that it isn't worth the bad rep or frustration. But there are dickheads too, that just don't care about anything on both sides also. Either way it's fishing and the high water and the way fish are concentrated in certain areas this year has made for an interesting spring.</blockquote>
