Just politely drop the big motor and run right in front of their bow and do the same thing. You don't have to say a word. Some people only get it when they are on the recieving end.

A 12- 18" wake off off any boat, reguardless of size has the same affect. That being said, the aluminum running 15 mph will probably push a bigger wake than the 20 something running 35-40. Plus the actual disturbance under the water is only 50 yds. , well within the area that is targeted.. guess that's not on your calculator...

I would rather people just stay om plane. Most of them don't understand slowing down a little makes your wake worse. Either idle by with motor in the full down position or fly by and get it over with.

Its is unreal that either people have zero knowledge of how to fish or just that stupid to understand what to do behind the wheel of a boat

Yesterday I managed to stay away from all boats and stayed to myself and caught fish

Today tried but..........

I can't understand what makes people click ?? If you see a guy in open water on anchor fishing..(only boat with in miles)..... Just because its a straight line from channel to weirs ....do you run wide open 250ft from that only boat in the water ?????? Not one but Two boats killed my only good bite I got on



2nd if you see a boat going to a spot that's way in front of you!! Do you go full throttle and run in front of them??

Happened today...I'm going to a spot on Monkey island...no boats around going about 25mph about a 75yards from spot when out of no where a boat come from behind me and got right in front and drove big motor on spot!!

Next I'm fishing towards a point and about 15ft from it casting at it...when a boat drives strait up to the point and runs up (over reef area) Chunks anchor and live cut mullet went flying (I had a million bucks they never caught a trout in there life)


Really are people that disrespectful or just plain Stupid

Motor kills bite !!!!!


I saw some guys fishing a bank a while back....they cranked up ran straight down the bank and started fishing it again

I run a few #s a day myself. Welgh, surface area, specific gravity, free surface, interpalation, and a few more. But I've been on the water and fishing longer.
