[QUOTE="martinslanding, post: 27519, member: 277"] I guess for me if the boat is not with in normal casting distance it will not bother me unless they are being jackwagons about it…then the heavy braided line gets brought out with a big ole daredevil and it becomes a game to see if I can snag their line without looking like I am trying to snag their line, but really I am, but they don’t know that. Lucky for me where I fish most people are fairly respectable and most will share a cold beverage with you while you discuss how sucky the fishing is that day…the only times I have seen real jackwagons is on SAK sometimes, was with a buddy east of Indian Hills fishing a point this dillhole in a Ranger(nothing against dillholes) comes in just about full throttle about 50 yrds from us, now we are working a zig zag pattern across this point, and most of the time if a boat or two want to run the similar pattern it works out ok, with the occasional snag or big fish throwing off the rotation…anyways Mr Dillhole was either: A. running the most aggressive zig-ziggyest zag-zaggyest pattern I have every seen B. never ever ever in his life operated a bow mounted trolling motor before. C. having a constant attack of mini strokes(I seriously thought this might be the case and yelled over to him at one point asking if he was ok)…Apparently he thought I was being cute or something and next pass was with in pissing distance of our boat.
