Indian Point area this morning

Got out for a couple hours early this morning. I haven't been for a while due to the heat and other pressing matters.  Found fish pretty much bunched up at 20 ft in 28 fow in one particular spot on a long gravel run out.  Caught several, mostly keepers using drop shot and nightcrawlers.

But here is the rest of the story as Paul Harvey would say:

A guy showed up with two young kids and noting that I was catching a few and that I was working hard to stay in one spot with the waves and wind (I need one of those Spot Lock trolling motors), he began to troll in circles around me at about 20 ft. distance, apparently trying to see what I was seeing on the graph.  Occasionally I would would drift off the spot while retying and he would move in trying to find the spot.  Finally he asked how I was doing and I asked him "if those were his grandsons and if he was teaching them how to fish" and he said Yes.  I responded indicating that was very nice but told him he had the an opportunity to teach them something else and he said what was that and I responded that he "could teach them common courtesy and fishing etiquette".  He responded "am I too close and messing up your graph signal" .  I indicated that if you think our graphs are interfering with each other that should tell you something.   YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP.  ALL IN ALL A GOOD MORNING.  WEATHER WAS GREAT AND VERY FEW BOATS OUT UNTIL ABOUT 9 AM.

A few weeks ago I am by myself at a 4 wide ramp with courtesy dock in the middle,  only 2 rigs in the whole lot at 530 am.  I tie up on one side of the courtesy dock at the end after launching.  Rig 2 launches on the same lane right into my boat.  4 wide, dock in the middle of the ramp, and launches into my boat on the same lane.

Seriously, you can't make this stuff up...

Hope it didn't hurt anything on your boat!

I was launching at the Shell Knob bridge about a month ago, it was still pretty dark about 5:30.  Boat launched in front of me was a little crooked on the ramp so i let him do his thing and pull the trailer out.  I proceeded to back in making sure there was plenty of room for 2 to accommodate the boat behind me.  I back in, launch and tie up to the courtesy dock; hop out to grab the truck and the rig behind me backed in at an angle.  His fender was darn near touching mine as he was about to launch his boat right on top of my trailer.  Sarcastically, I asked if he would like to trim his motor up so i could pull my trailer out of the water.  He immediately panics and jams his boat back up on his trailer, how his prop didn't get hit my trailer is still a mystery....
