And that is the part people have a hard time with. Someone is running in the lake which is full of boats trying to be nice to other boaters it is very hard for them to tell if you are drifiting and where you are drifting to. So lets say X fishermen is drifting the south bank of big lake moving to the west and will eventually end up in the channel. Is the entire south bank (all X miles of it) off limits to anyone because X is headed that way. Everyone's opinon of "enough" room is different. Some here say 1,000 yards, some say 300 yards, etc... There is no way for your average guy that fishes six times a year to keep up with the latest rules of what will and will not start a huge incident.

Reading this thread is why you won't see me on biglake, and it's not because i don't know what i'm doing. It's not wanting to deal with this bull **** over a fish! I'd rather go perch jerk on the river then deal with the sob's that think they own big lake!

I've been cut off, drifted up on, boats run by too close full throttle, etc and it is frustrating. But to retaliate by doing figure 8's around someone or getting into a fight over a fishing spot is rediculous. especially when the sheriffs office has to go tell my wife and kids I just got shot because of this retaliation. If you take fishing that serious, you need a new hobby. And don't preach about, " I pay a boat note, fuel, tackle, etc. so I take this serious", Most of us on here fish because we choose to, not because we have to.

The problem i see is that right now there is another thread on this site where someone suggested creating "big lake fishing etiquette" flyers and posting/handing them out at marinas, fishing stores, etc.. IMO a very good idea that could be a great teaching tool for a novice about to head out on the water who otherwise wouldn't know better. THat thread has 3 replys total. Instead, people rather stay on this thread going back and forth and not solving anything. You will never fully eliminate inconsiderate people on the water, just as you wont eliminate them in life, but a little education would go a long way in helping cure this issue. I would imagine most people that are on the recieving end of a "figure 8" aren't inconsiderate, just uneducated.

Lets start being part of the solution instead of contributing to the problem.

My point is most people that end up with dubya doing figure 8's around their boat probably don't know any better. Therefore I believe they aren't inconsiderate, as much as they are uneducated. I think if they knew what they were doing they wouldn't cut people off "potlick" etc in the first place.

The people that give figure 8s aren't uneducated or inconsiderate... Just classless.

If someone throws a wake on you, just take a picture and send it to the LDWF. They will pay the offender a visit and hand him some paperwork.
It's better to get him mad than for you to get mad.
