deerhuneter02 Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Hey guys, I've never been in a tournament and know almost nothing about them. So whats a co-angler, angler, non-boater whats all the difference between these people and what do they do. Quote
Its a big one Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 There is no difference. They both burn holes in your carpet, spill spike-it , drinks and what not on the floor, brings mud in your boat and hooks your seats, scratch your gel coat, and just mess up you boat. Oh ya and skip out of giving you gas money. Thats what they do. ;D lol Quote
sodaksker Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Nitro, What are you doing to your co-anglers that they treat you and your boat like that? In all seriousness though. The "angler" is the guy who is fishing out of his boat, "co-angler" is the a guy who is assigned to fish with the angler in the anglers boat. Non boater and co-angler are more or less the same thing.

Tpayneful Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Wow, I think I have done at least a couple of those things to my partner's boats! I hooked a seat and spilled a drink. I STINK! I do pay for gas and help win cash! Of course, I have had partners that have done those things on my boat as well. We are not pro's so we can pick our partners. Pro's get whoever they draw. Quote
Shad_Master Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Nitro, this may have been intended as a joke - but it strikes a sore spot with me. If back seaters are all such horrible people, why do you take them along? Quote
Its a big one Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 It was intended as a joke. These things come up when co-angler is mention. But in a draw tourament you have to take them along. I often front end my co-angler so he can't get a cast in like on the show match fishing. ;D Quote
Shad_Master Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Okay, granted it was meant as a joke - but I have a problem with boaters who talk bad about non-boaters and then sign up for "draw tournaments". We have had this controversy in my local club and that's why it's a sore spot for me. I fish some tournaments as a boater and others as a non-boater. My major goal is to spend a day on the lake with somebody with similar interests and somebody I can learn from -- I do learn from my backseaters. Just don't really like it when any particular group gets singled out for bashing just because they are in that group. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted August 10, 2007 Super User Posted August 10, 2007 I often front end my co-angler so he can't get a cast in like on the show match fishing. ;D Whats the purpose in doing that? I once overheard a backseater tell his boater at the weigh in that if he had any fishing ability he wouldnt be worried about the backseater catching fish behind him. Right after that, the two were separated by a few people because it was about to get ugly. The boater got mad because what the nonboater said made sense. Makes sense to me too. Quote

motocross269 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Nitro if you treated me like that I just wouldn't sign your weight slip........NO PROBLEM....It is as easy as that. Quote
Guest ccrider Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 I thought this was a site for the sharing the wonders of bass fishing, but it seems to be there are some who think bass fishing was created JUST for them!!!!!!! Sorry about your boat and your awful co-anglers, but if you were my boater and did me as you suggested, you'de be digging a crankbait out of your sorry a@@!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted August 17, 2007 BassResource.com Administrator Posted August 17, 2007 Nitro - sometimes funny jokes when said in person just don't come across the same way in written form. This is one of those times. Quote
Its a big one Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Sorry............ I will take a nonboater fishing Saturday and be nice Quote
