Not gonna rant about it..... And im sure it was no active members of BBC, just alittle consideration....If i can cast and put my lure in your boat, you cut me off too close.... Big O is hot right now and its a parking lot... Show me the same consideration i show you.
thats one of the reasons I quite fishing tournaments, I started when it was Red Man and went to the BFL. Todays fisherman watch to much TV
+1
I wasn't fishing a tourney, he was. And to take the tone and I quote "if you don't like it meet me at the ramp" is BS!!! There was no one around within 200-300 yards of me either way and too park on me? Really? LOL. I was only investigating new water for further use. Believe me it didn't go down well.... I insured when I left that wouldn't be a fish there!!! 300hp salad shooter!! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
That is everyday life on the potomac, last from may-october, i guess you just get used to it. Yes i dont agree with it but when 500 boats try to fish within a few 1/4/ mile areas it tends to get a little crowded. I know yesterday there were 199 boats in the BFL there on Lake O. I hate fishing in a crowd, i do not crowd people, if we cross paths thats one thing, but i do my best not to cut in front of someone. And if i do you can bet i will ask them if they mind.
Sorry didnt see your second post, yes if im the only boat within 300 yds and another guy comes in there, we are gonna have a few select words. And yes i would be willing to meet someone at the dock, if thats what they wanted. Hell if they want to fish that close to me, just jump in my boat and we can settle it right there, then go back to fishing...at least one of us. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
Mybad............sorry I didn't mean to cut ya off http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/embarassed.gif
JK >>>-----------> I didn't happen to us but a few of our club guys had that same experience with the FLW Guys.....................I know they are fishing for a living, but really............... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif
If one has a concealed weapons permit and someone threats you would it be considered self defense? I hate when people do that! I m old school and always try and leave the use to be standard of 100 yards but now I date myself. Ya'll be safe out there and be blessed. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif
Thats when you trim your motor up and give him a bath. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

The thought was a quick passing 1 considering his very much older non boater had nothing to do with it. He turned his back and never said a word.

He said this to you?
Not just once but multiple times... When confronted it was the first words out of his mouth.
We had a guy do this one time to us and I just started casting at his boat. We just cruised around him on the trolling motor and then moved. I go fishing to relax and I avoid the crowds even if I dont catch fish. Saturday on the northend of the lake was chaos because of the 200 boat tournement and there was heavy fog.
You know, it should not matter if you are fishing a tournament or not, being an ass is just being an ass plane and simple. I have never had a problem going behind someone and fishing "used water" I have caught a lot of fish that others missed, but I would never go in front of someone, just not in my makeup.
Bummer ya had to meet up with an a-hole while out on the lake.. Hopefully karma caught up with him!

Deana would have been mad at me but that would have been my reaction for sure!! Not waiting for the dock!! Jason if ya had another 100# on ya he wouldn't have been so quick to mouth off!!!!! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/mad.gif
I try not to get close to anyone unless were fun fishing together in the same area. Jerks!!
take a 1oz or a rattle trap and swing it by em
I had a situation like that. Guy pulled in on me, words were exchanged, Got a invite to settle it at the ramp, accepted his offer and whipped his azz. Never had another problem for 20 yrs. from anyone.
Now that sucks!! I find this with a lot of fishermen not just the tour. ones but it does seem to happen more with the tour. fishermen then anyone else.
That SOB would not have caught a thing that day with be running around his boat making a mess of the water he was trying to fish. The 300 salad shooter going at full bore.
What an AZZHOLE!!!
The only reason I don't carry when I am fishing cause he would not have see the ramp again.
Speaking of..... Preston, did your dad say he had problems with two guys Sat? We polled down past two guys that had stakes out so we keep going. We passed your dad going the other way( said the normal tx stuff) and He said he had some stakes out. The only ones were the ones the other guys were on. by the time he got to them we were on down the grass bed. It sounded kinda loud. Didn't see him at the weigh in. They were both fishing when we left.
dad never mentioned having a problem and if he did he would have told me.

With getting your concealed they tell you if itÂs not your dormitory castle and you can retreat you are not allowed to use deadly force. I'm sure popping off a round in the h2o would of changed his tone but what comes with doing that isnÂt worth it. I always pack my .45 on the water b/c you never know with some of these head cases today. just my .02
Just carry a water gun with berkly Gulp juice in it. When they get to close soak them. They will stink the rest of the day and probably the next.

That would probably be a bad nidea...as I'm sure you know if you have a Fl CCW. Brandishing is froiwned on bt DA's and they prosecute them..
Assault with a Deadly Weapon
Assault with a deadly weapon is technically termed "aggravated assault" under the Florida statutes. "Simple" assault is defined in the following manner:
An "assault" is an intentional, unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the person of another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence is imminent.
If this threat is accompanied by the brandishing of a deadly weapon, a defendant who is convicted of this charge faces the penalties that accompany a third-degree felony. A third-degree felony can carry a prison term of up to five years.
I'd definately take him up on his offer to discuss http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif the issue at the ramp.
He might reconsider being a jerk the next time around...
Good luck,,
Jim
I wouldn't say or do anything, guy might be having a bad day. I would just smile and wave.

or if he was fishing a tourney I might consider calling the TD and filing a complaint about him threatening me with physical force almost all tournaments these days have some kind of rule about sportmanship...........sounds like a wussy way to handle it but its beats a police report and lawsuit
Im thinking about a paint ball gun and a few rounds of pink paint. Everyone would know who the offender was. Just a thought. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif

sorry I am bitter these days http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
Ya thats what I'd do.....be a smart A## about it......."dude how are ya, thanks for coming in! Thats a great spot I just pulled 20 lbs off it and waiting for it to re-load......glad you are gonna block it for me for a bit.....can I offer you a Dr. Pepper?"
Poor Jason... I would certainly believe he is much tougher than he looks and pity the guy that calls him out..
Can't always go by size. I attended this one demonstration where the little Asian Sensai always pulled out the biggest, strongest looking guys to demonstrate various techniques on. Believe me...Mr. Muscles was always quick to be slapping out on each technique!!! Not only were they in pain, but were put in a position where they couldn't do anything.
I think the OPs response was more effective than meeting the deuce bag at the ramp. In today's society looking cross-eyed at the wrong person can get you put in jail. Some people love to sue.
