    Eufaula ABA spot poachers

    Hey dude in the white ranger….all 3 spots that you idled up to me today, hit a waypoint and hauled ass off were a bust. You can have them

    no shame in your game but I’d recommend poaching somebody good instead!

    I found humor in it. The bite has been TERRIBLE for me so it provided me a break in the monotony of not catching anything all day. I’d just hop on the back deck, stand there and stare at him. He may just tie me for last place this tourney!!

    The dude should put time in to find his own spots for sure….but at least you are taking it in stride. “Tie me for last place”

    The fake graphers piss me off more than anything. See me out offshore, never a boat around, then come off plane, start idling, staring at their graph, never look up at me, and come close enough to be able to hit a waypoint on what I’m on. No shame!

    We true spot poachers at least have then courtesy to stay far away and just take a guess at the waypoint and idle around and find it later

    Put radar on your boat and you will only have to be in sight, never get close. Happens daily offshore.

    Guys bitching about spot poaching when they are fishing open water cracks me up. Don't want someone to fish your water do the work like Poche. If you are out where others see you it is all fair game.

    No one wants the spots I fish. If I am there then chances are good the fish are not there.

    While I do think guys are often over the top about people stealing “their spots” (likely community areas that are well known), someone idling up, marking a waypoint and idling off is pretty blatant.

    Had it done to me many times. kind of figure it is just the norm these days and ain't worth getting my BP up over it. Now if they pull up and start fishing the same stuff I am fishing while I am there that is a different story.

    Pretty weird that would crack you up…and considering it “fair game” says a lot about you. I’ll send you the waypoints

    Fair game says nothing about me other than if I am fishing where others can see me then I expect it. I don't do it myself. Personally I go above and beyond to try and get into water others won't so I don't have to worry about it. I have crashed through a beaver dam. I have skipped across shallow sandbars because I found out there was good water beyond... If you don't want others to see your shit it takes effort and a willingness to maybe be a little hard on your equipment.

    I am here to defend the poor beavers. Knock it off and don’t drive thru their home. They don’t deserve that.

    Mark I get what your driving at, but you guys probably should give yourselves more credit than that.

    Some years back I was fishing Cayuga and saw four boats that seemed to be fishing around one single spot. About twenty minutes later, they all seemed to start leaving one by one. When I was leaving the area, I just had to see what they were fishing. I got close, and noticed there was a marker buoy that must have drawn the crowd. It was then I realized it was one of mine that blew out of the boat when I was driving into the area. Amusing to say the least.
