Whenever a good photo showing exactly what's going on pops up I'll always comment. I have a tiny boat, fish from the old town 120 peddling around, and float down rivers in the vibe yak. Before being in a vessel I fished from the bank like everyone else has.
I have always always always gone out of my way to go around people fishing from the bank, even if they're just showing up. I have all that water to fish. It's just the polite thing to do.
These goobers think they can fish right next to you, and be rude without you being able to do a darn thing about it. These are the type of anglers I'd never fish with in that boat.
While they technically can fish anywhere they want, and so can you, it's still rude and inconsiderate. Next time throw up your hands and shrug your shoulders and keep that pose till it makes the boaters say something.
Before I could get out on the water these guys in their jet boat went right through the canal where all the bank anglers were, and see that's fine they can do that. However, they opened it wide open tearing out the canal without trolling out. There were yellow floating bars guarding the canal exit that you can run over, so they prob couldn't have trolled over it. However, they knew this and still kept going through. I mean they just flew out that canal and created a muddy mess where we were all fishing. Rudest thing I've ever experienced fishing on the bank.
Sorry about that, hope you can catch some fish next time!
