what's the apostrophe for?
Now you and I have known each other for a better part of 30 years. You know I have donated more tackle and spots to "families" out on the water than most.
I was not saying non-tournament anglers should move, There is also a lot of water, so if you try a little bit, you can find a spot where no body will bother you.
drivenmarine.net said:As for every weekend, there are a lot, maybe too many, but like I said those bodies of water are hundreds of miles long. A tournament isn't that big of a deal.
drivenmarine.net said:You didn't just mention tournaments are annoying. You came out calling people you don't even know some pretty nasty things. There are assholes in all walks of life, we all might as well get used to it, and try not to be one ourselfs.
I've given away more tackle than most folks will ever own, And I've gone so far as to buy maps, mark them up, and mail them to folks who've asked.
No it's not every tourney angler, but, there's just enough in every tournament, and there's tournaments every weekend.

That sounds like, "Move somewhere else" to me. This happens every time, the attention whores get caught telling non-tournament people how they really feel about having to fish around us, and when confronted about it, they back up and try to soften their stance.
It's a big deal to me. Tournaments every weekend means pre-fishing every day of the week prior. Pre-fishing tournament people are worse than they are on tournament day because there's no tournament director to call.
And now you attention whores don't like that the silent majority is sick of your B.S. and starting to speak up.
Really, what could possibly be better for tournament fisherpeople than for all of you to fish all together on just one body of water every weekend? If it's about Camaraderie like you say it is, you'd have more comrades. If it's about seeing if you have what it takes on any given day then you'd know you have what it takes to beat every other attention whore on a given day.
I wonder if I could find a single-wide jet ski trailer so I could train my daughter how to back it up @ Grahams Island on tournament day?
^^ This has to be one of the dumbest things I have read. I didn't soften anything. All I'm saying is there are going to be crowds with or without tournaments, get over it.
Right, because even without tournaments 50-100 boats would decide to pile up in front of a ramp and wait for someone to tell them when it's OK to go right? Or, without a tournament, would those boats decide not to create a giant floating traffic jam and just take off one by one as they picked up their pickup-parker?
So, those of us not fishing in a tournament get to have a 3 hr/tournament day boat-ramp goat-fuck along with just enough "I'm in the tournament so stay out of my way" sprinkled in. Sign me up for more of that please. Or maybe NOT!!
your guys tournaments are weird up there ours we take off one by one with team numbers. The longest with 150 teams i have waited is about 30 minutes at most
