It seems that they think since they are in a tournament they should have priority on all fishing spots.
Yea, I can't stand that! Even when I'm in a tourney I don't butt in on someone's fishing spot.

My parents have a house on Center Hill right near Hidden Harbor marina. In the evening when we get off the water I take the golf cart down and watch people pull out. It is better then anything on TV. Saw a guy a few years ago drop a brand new Master Craft on the ramp because he loaded it wrong. Daddy probably wasn't to happy.

It’s not what type of water craft is on the lake, its type the of people driving them. Fishermen are just as bad as jet skies, wake boats, or any others. I’ve personally had more issues with trying to fish and someone in the $30,000 bass boat flies by at 80 mph with no regard for anyone else. Also tournament fishermen are about the worst. It seems that they think since they are in a tournament they should have priority on all fishing spots.
Well said. I love to fish but unfortunately right now we have an open bow boat to make momma happy. I would like to thank my buddy at work that calls me alot to fish with him. It is definitely the owner of the boat that is the as$ holes in these situations we are talking about. I have seen wakes from bass boats just as big as the wakeboard boats. As far as damage to property on lake front land I believe it more to due with the big aS$ cabin cruisers or "Fu(k!ng Wave Makers" as we call them on Ft.Loudon. There are people in every sport or activity we do that gives it or the rest of us a bad name.

that's ttrue on the main river channel but my folks live in the fork creek embayment and there are rarely any of the big yachts up there. all the damage is from the wake boats that circle hundreds of times in the embayment.

How many here have been fishing in a small john boat and had some guy in a $40,000 bass boat come flying by almost capsizing you? I know I have.

A 2oz sinker slung just ahead of them would put a damper on that pretty quickly. 
alot of people say stuff just like this but I have never seen it happen. And I can tell you one thing, If it would ever happen to me, the jackas$ that did it will be a whooped A$$. I would never drive in a way to make someone do this to me but Im just saying,
bottom line, everyone has just as much right as the next guy to use the water, some just do it with more respect then others

What you posted proved my point exactly!
The 2 parties involved would get the chance to talk things over and make some kinda agreement that would prevent this situation from happening again. Hahaha!

i bounced a 7 inch redfin with its 2 sets of treble hooks off the front of a jetski once. my intention was to jerk the SOB off of it.
