[QUOTE="Spurhunter, post: 5590159, member: 5695"] I have no doubts that you try to be respectful as possible, but in my experience with pleasure boaters, you are in the slim minority. As far as the guy trolling right by you, I'll tell a story that happened to me last summer. Maybe it applies. Maybe not. I found some fish in the mouth of a big creek at Sardis. I'm trolling [I]maybe[/I] a 100 yard stretch. I have my waypoints and my route set up and my trolling motor is on "autopilot" taking me back and forth on this run. I've been doing this an hour or so when a ski boat comes blasting in, shuts down, and drops anchor. You guessed it. Right in the middle of my run. Obviously they had no way of knowing what I was doing, and I don't own the lake, so I moved on. But now I have to locate fish again and start over because they picked a spot to drop anchor around a bunch of crappie fishermen when there's 100,000 acres of water out there. [/QUOTE]
