something truly sad happened to me a few weeks ago.. I got the experience in freshwater, while fishing for bass. I've never seen that happen before while freshwater fishing. I always thought bass guys were a little more courteous than others. It was a tragic day. He did exactly that. Parked on the spot where the fish were holding.. I even asked him to back off then cast as he was sitting on top of the fish and all he did was curse me out

I love watching them pot licker wanna be captains turn purple when I do that

The only problem is I really only feel comfortable doing it when I am fishing alone in an isolated spot and someone rolls up on me. What I do is take off all of my clothes and just continue fishing like they aren't there. They usually don't stay to long. Yelling and causing a scene usually only makes the offending potlicker more determined to mess up your day but when they roll up on a guy fishing naked they know they are not dealing with a stable individual.

I am afraid that is the only way I have discovered to deal with them. I would like to think that most serious fisherman respect each others space, but potlickers aren't fisherman. They bought a boat and can't really figure out how to put fish in it. They want something to show for all the money they spent and they are going to get their pound of flesh. They don't see anything wrong with what they are doing and its very hard to convince the otherwise unless it happens to them a few times. They will end up growing out of it or selling their boat. Guides who do it probably won't last too long and eventually go back to bartending or land a job selling pharmaceuticals.

Every time it happens to me I fantasize about trolling over and beating the guy unconscious. When I am done pounding his head into his console I take the keys off his boat and throw them into the water. Then I turn back and wink at his girl friend and without a word being said she jumps in my boat with me and I catch her limit too. When I return to reality I usually just pick up the trolling motor, give him a dirty look and leave.

until you can just shoot them and sell their stuff on e-bay, it will just get worse.

here lately the trend in the basin is now to drive by you wide open, only to shut down and start fishing 50 ards ahead of you in a 45' wide canal.

it's amazing how much mud i can stir up as i drive a circle or two around these people then leave and pass 5' off the bank the whole way home and piss everybody off with my mudmotor.

i honestly think these people are so stupid that they would watch you pull out the ar, rack one in the chamber, watch you tap the forward assist, achive a good sight picture on them, and then shoot half the people in the boat before they could fathom the fact that they are getting taken care of.

i just hope when i go poastal the guy has apower pole on his boat. i always wanted one. lol
maybe a depth finder or a fishfinder too.

if you head shoot them you might be able to sell some of their clothes as well. a dollar's a dollar.

all this is nice to think about, but potlicking is just a problem we will have to put up with.
