Man, I can't believe the things people come up with rather than doing it the honest, hard way....

I'm sure it happens a lot more than we realize

YEP......Happens alot....not so much here in NE but I have seen it in Missouri......there are guys in a couple clubs that actualy "BRAG" about hole sitting One was talking about how he sat on a Hole for 2 days......said he Never really fished but gave the impression he was by just sittin on front Seat with a line in water.....nothin but a weight on it I guess Turns out he went back to "His Spot" and he didnt even place surved him right I guess

I have not personally witnessed it, but have been told that it happens. Some of the larger circuits have rules that prohibit cell phone use unless its an emergency to call the Tournament Director. I know Ranger Owners T's had that rule. Of course there's ways to get around that too, if you have a late flight you can have someone sit there untill you show up It's cheatin in my book.

It's agaist the rules in most tournaments down here. Yet guys will get around it by working together on a couple holes. One boat will fish point A for a while then boat 2 comes in and boat one goes off to point B. The either boat one or another buddy comes back to point A and boat 2 leaves. They can do it because there all fishing the tournament. If not it would be illegal.

I think the Cell phone thing is a tad outdated........Text messages are becoming more and more adament as well........you can pop it out of pocket and just look at sceene to know Where when How anymore


Other than that you just rely on Honesty of the guy on boat next to ya

i've never seen it happen but i'm very sure it does

[ksbugman200]

Heard of happening, but haven't seen it happen.

[dukhntr]

I have heard of it. I've never done it. I don't think it's cheating. It's not very ethincal, but not illegal. The person still has to catch the fish. If they did homework and found a spot holding fish then so be it.....

Ive seen it, had a guy offer to do that for me once, I was in good shape in a two day, and had a bad draw, he said he would sit on a spot for me till I got there since he wasnt in contention, I just said thanks but no thanks. He probably wouldve been fishing my spot when I got there anyway.
