First off, "thousands" is never mentioned in my thread; just said over a thousand (this would require knowing how to read). Every year i drive 1200 miles to fish in another state (which would be over a thousand). Second of all, i was being dramatic about how people who fish your spot will "change a man" and you probably missed that too.

First off, dramatic is an understatment (I know this is a big word for you). More like crybaby. You dont own the lake. Or your favorite spot. Therefore, its not YOUR spot. "Your spot" is payed for by the taxpayers in the state (which you arent even a citizen of) in which you travel "over a thousand" miles to fish. Get your head out of your ass and have some common sense. And as far as "changing a man", thats your buisness. Its between you and God if you arent happy being a man. A doctor can help you with the "change" you seek.

Loop_Dad Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 I don't remember if I read here or some other forum, but one guy's idea was to display big pirates flag with skeleton to keep rude people away including none fishermen. Anyone else got any other idea for visual deterrent? Edit -> Something like this for $25.
Nashua Nev Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 usually when i see them coming i drop a few casts towards them , sometimes i will drop a second line in and let it sit with a bobber on it. Usually they stay clear. If there are 2 of us we usually do the same with big bobbers and just let them sit. In NH we can use 2 rods at a time per person. Not sure if other states allow the same. I will usually also try to fish in a big circle to make them aware that i am using the area. Only once have i had to say , hey Buddy can you give me a little room please.
jignfule Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 As bad as it gets fishing, it is magnified while hunting ducks. It's one of the reasons I now fish more than hunt. I fear I may witness the same creeping in fishing as I witnessed in hunting, it gets worst very year. You may not own the lake, but you can own a little descency and treat others as you would want them to treat you.

I gotta apologize guys for my posts earlier on this topic. I got a personal message from Unionman throwing another temper tantrum stating that he has received 7 personal messages from life long members here who got their feelings hurt from my post. I congratulated him for making 7 new friends, but nevertheless, i will apologize to all "7" for the sarcasm. Worst part is i don't know what my wife will say when she finds out i lost 7 friends on this forum. I like Loop_Dads idea. Thought the pirate flag idea was awesome.
Super User Swamp Girl Posted November 25, 2012 Super User Posted November 25, 2012 A few times on the Mississippi while fishing white bass, I've attracted dozens of boats. They literally circled my boat, watching me boat the white bass. I fish with 4-pound test and that really helps, while they were trolling, which typically doesn't help. So, I started those evenings with my own little bay and ended them as the hub of a slowing turning wheel. It didn't make me mad, but I'd rather they stayed away.

This is why people dont like you. You just keep going when your so obviously wrong. Try contributing something positive to this forum instead of antagonizing people. Its easy to chalk it up to sarcasm after you find out how much of an ass your "my spot" (on a public lake) post made you look.

Hidden by roadwarrior, November 26, 2012 - Thread is closed. Shimmy's tact may be bit lacking but he is right, on public waters no one owns any spot, assuming that's what I understood the post to mean. Other than politely asking another fishing boat, party boat or any other annoyance to move, an act of aggression is shear stupidity.
Scorcher214 Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 I will be marketing a new invention this spring. A portable torpedo system that can be fitted to anything from a yak to a bass boat. Any interest? Omg yes. I would gladly put one on my kayak! Like jig meister said, guys in yaks are low on the totem pole.

Especially since we got some young guns reading the forum, use some discretion. Only responding to this since others may get the wrong impression from your bipolar aggression. Do i like it when someone takes my spot that i am currently on? No. Does it really change a man? No. Reading the responses on this forum, most agree with me and not you. As for children like you not liking me, i'm pretty sure i am not missing out on much. Pretty sure the only one i antagonized was you and even then it was in response for you calling me out due to your inability to read my original statement. No one else was antagonized! Am i missing something here?! I feel like i am taking your crazy pills every time i read a personal message from you. Just agree to disagree and whatever you type out, sound like a grown up and avoid profanity. You're on the wrong site for that here bud.
