Had to ask some older guys to pull up after they loaded their boat in the middle of a 2 stall ramp and wanted to do everything but clean fish before pulling up out of the way. No big deal, just explained to them that I, and the other boats behind me were probably in a hurry to get to a weigh in (Big Bass Splash, Toledo Bend) and asked very nicely if they minded pulling up a little. They didn't even know a 1000+ boat tournament was going on, and I explained how it worked with the hourly weigh-ins etc. I could have talked with those old men for hours but didn't have time. They even offered to give me their shiners lol. I've always been taught to respect my elders, and at my age most people on the water can be classified as that. As far as jet skiers and tubers go, they mostly all deserve a super spook sammich. Just don't let people ruin your day. A PO'd attitude will directly effect your fishing.
Disclaimer - Most boats that do these things that I see on Toledo are bay boats and are from South of I-10. Just sayin

Been fishing Toledo a good bit this year and it is pretty bad, and most are the bay boats. I do agree that some people just don't know any better. Some are just learning and never had anyone to teach them.
