midnight_madness Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Earlier today when i was out fishing. I was trolling along a bank and seen a ski boat coming around the bend, some 200-300 yards away. Where i was fish is about 200 ft between the shore lines. As i kept watching this ski boat coming down the water they was running down the water towards me. This person driving came right up next to me, so close i could have took my 6'6 rod and touched the boat. Now that was just a bit to close for me. Why do ppl do that? Do they have no respect? What i wanted to do was tie on a sinker with a treble hook and wait for them to come back thru ;D, but instead i just packed up and headed to another spot to fish. UGH > Quote
Super User senile1 Posted July 6, 2007 Super User Posted July 6, 2007 Wow. If they continue to zip in that close to shore they'll eventually ruin their boat and injure or kill themselves. Not too smart. Quote
squid Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Put on a big heavy sinker...with the lightest line without breaking it on the cast. When they come by again....just let it fly toward the boat. See if they get close next time.... 8-) Quote
Guest avid Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 I gotta hand it to ya dude, You really know how to title a thread to get peoples attention. It would be so cool if we shoot all the azzholes in the world but I think I would get lonely Quote
John J. Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 if you shoot all the arse holes in the world, the only ones remaining will be us here on the forum! ;D ;D Seriously though, I am pretty sure it is illegal to zip THAT close to someone while they are fishing. If I were you I'd report it! Here in Virginia it IS illegal and a boater can not be no closer than 100 feet from a fisherman! 8-) good luck Quote

ejtaylor822 Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 I have heard paint ball guns are very effective. They are also good for jet fleas as well. Don't think I have the nerve to use one but have heard of some that have and are very effective. Agree with others, proabably best to report them, not as much fun as ripping off a few pait projectiles their way, but probably safer for everyone. Quote
paleo Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 id like to snag a skier or two myself but be carefull who you start up with my buddy found out the hard way when he started with a guy who turned out to be a ufc fighter needless say he barley got away with all his teeth Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Never ever fight with an idiot. They will pull you down to their level and beat you with experience. Since natural selection is not much of an issue for humans anymore we have to bear with this issue of sub-par intelligence. We are unfortunate that they always figure out how to breed. Quote
FishingBuds Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 The big air horns for emergency onlys works perfect, ;D when they are close enough like that, point it and blow the darn thing and watch'em flinch, most have slowed down. 8-) Remember get the biggest one and lay into it on them. Helps if you can favor a look of a DNR, Game warden authority Quote
John J. Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 good idea, blow the air horn while at the same time flip em the bird and zip a led weight at em, then report them. Man, we are probably going to get M_M in trouble next time! ;D ;D ;D Quote
Super User Root beer Posted July 6, 2007 Super User Posted July 6, 2007 Plant a gun in their hand. and claim it was self-defense. Quote
FishingBuds Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 O.K. have you ever been in the passenger seat of your buddys truck with your arm on the door and when he was backing up you slap the side of the door and yell out "man,what did you hit " That look and responce you get is exactly what you'd get on the water, maybe get creative and slam on the air horn button repeatidly, over and over as they go by-to them it kinda sounds like "PULL OVER"!! as for the finger or something to that matter, na!, now-a-days gets you killed or them 8-) I'm tellin ya the Horn feels really good when you wanna yell and it does it for ya ;D Quote
Bass Smacker Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 The Horn is a darn good idea. Going to wal mart tomarow and getting one.. The Pain ball gun would be fun Real fun. But i see myself getting shot for that Quote
BucketmouthAngler13 Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Some people are only alive because it's against the law to kill em So true. Usualy several bottle rockets fired at the oncoming offenders takes care of things. But nothing beats steady long-range 1 ounce jighead fire. Quote
thunderstruck Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 It's not against the law if nobody finds out...- I mean... Why else would a Rapala have so many hooks? Quote
