I think it was two years ago on East Branch, it was after work during the week so like 3-5 boats on the whole lake. Some idiot comes by me with a tiller small boat as I casting up a shoreline. What does he do but stop about 75 yards in front of me right about the same distance I was from the shore and anchor. I'm chucking muskie stuff so, I pull out some bigger stuff for the "drive by". I cast the shore right up to him and cast a 45 degree bomb right in front of him as I trolling motor out around him, when I get past I give a nice 45 degree-er back in front of him and continue on down the shore.
This is the only boat I can even see on the lake! I can see down a large bay and up and down the main arm. On a busy day I might of let it slide.
Never said a word.
The weekend comes and this butt-head does the same thing, I can't resist so I ask him as I do the same as above how he thought it would feel if I bounced that lure up along side his head since once again we are one of the 5 boats on a pretty large lake. There would be nothing wrong with him achoring right behind my casting run but NO! This is one of those guys who has to bang the anchor against everything in the boat before trying to win the shot putt throw as he lobs the archor in.
He says I don't own the lake. I agree with him and agree he has as much right as I do there all except one thing. If you we any kind of sportsman at all you wouldn't cut right in front of someone who was fishing and throw your anchor 6 feet into the air and see what kind of splash you can make, I mean do you really ever catch anything!!!
He felt he did no wrong, some people just don't get it!! Another fisherman isn't normally someone who is the problem.
Next trip out I rolled on by him at about 15MPH sending out the biggest wake my boat could make and stopped in front of him 75 in front....boy did I get some looks as he was doing all he could do to keep his boat upright.
I said.....you don't own the lake and starting fishing. He didn't like it done to him though
But in the end he won as my wife peeled my backside for about an hour over it!!!
The idiots always win. I think my peeling was worth it, well maybe a little.
