Don't Be That Fisherman

Thanks, I'll just hike/wade to here (caught 7 endemic bass in the frame of this photo)

Its all day everyday, I've even seen (and heard) them out in the winter.

It’s not endless here. Most of them don’t start up until midday. If it’s rainy or cloudy, they stay off the lake too which is pretty ideal in the summer here for both fishing conditions and less boating traffic.

 

They aren’t out here yet because the water is so cold. But by Memorial Day you can rest assured they’ll be out on a sunny, warm day.

 

I understand people have the right to enjoy public waters and recreate just like me, but they don’t have the right to create massive waves and blare loud music in the close presence of other watercraft.

Well said . They can do what they want but we don’t have to do what they want

Toobers don’t roll through there with the waterproof Bluetooth speakers ?

truly they don't - too far away from their beaten access points

even get just a few sporadic kayakers through here.  

 

 

adding to this post, over the years I've won many good graces filling a trash bag as I go.  

So many landowners hate kayakers and tubers, and I'll go out of my way to meet them, but I've also had many see me picking up litter on their bank, and invite me back at my discretion.  There are many brush-bust-wades I couldn't make without their good graces. 

Being able to hike their bank around a bottomless hole can open up another mile of river to you

Unfortunate situation, but one that is quite common since I'm just outside of a big city. Especially with the influx of new anglers since COVID, there's more and more idiots out there. I make sure to pack some headphones so I can put them in and just listen to a podcast/my own music instead. Doesn't help when you're trying to fish with a buddy though.
