Macsimus Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 You hear a lot nowadays about discourteous fishermen and confrontations on the water. I got out for a few hours yesterday afternoon in the Old Hwy 86 area. I was determined not to get in anyone's way as I knew the Big Bass Tour was going on. The first boat I encountered on Point 2 swung way wide of me before we even got within communicating distance. The second boat refused to swing inside on the bank I was on even though I twice attempted to wave them in. My hat's off to you gentlemen. The fish weren't nearly as friendly. In fact, I would say they were downright hostile. Caught 3 in 4 hours, one being a keeper Spot that looked like it was going to burst. It still thought it had room for a DT-10. Two 13" smallies that thought there were 16" came on the Ned. They remind me of little ankle-biters that think they're Rotweilers. I flogged 4 main lake pockets with cranks, swinghead/Menance grub, and the Ned. I must not be holding my mouth right as the derby boys caught some dandies. 176champion, Ketchup, magicwormman and 2 others 5 "There was a time that I didn't fish, but I cannot remember it."
m&m Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Macsimus, pretty brave of you to be fishing in that area knowing all the boats fishing the derby were out there. Nice of you to share the experience of encountering gentlemen on the water. Good examples breed similar encounters in the future. I enjoy reading about the good ones. And thanks for the report. You were not the only one struggling yesterday. Mike Champ188 and 176champion 2
Nitro 750 Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 I guess someone needs to teach the fish some manners!!!!! Thanks for the report.
