Its like anything else, you only notice things when they are negative. I'd bet most charter captains are fine, but there are a certain percentage who think they make a living that way, so they own the water. Kinda like when a construction crew is working on a house and they block a street for weeks.
Basically, "f" all you, this is how I make my living, so work around me. No, imo, you shouldn't block the road and screw up traffic, or you should be courteous on the water, or whatever.
I think I was out there that day (on the backside of thompson isl?). My dad and I took a couple small blues each.. I mean they were like 3-4lbs and we were crackin' on the guy in a 30' plus boat for trolling the umbrellas for tiny fish.
It is a valid strategy to fish low under blitzing blues or schoolies for bigger bass. They often work under the schools munching down scraps and injured fish to use less energy, but if its the same guy, he was just catching small blues.
I agree with MTC and makomike... every walk of life has its quota of jack@$$'s.
I'm out there every weekend, so I see these guys every weekend. And there's one light tackle, fly guide that consistently cuts in front of me when I'm working fish up top to get his "sports" hooked up. I've had my boat 3 seasons now, and he's done it to me a couple times each year. The rest of the guys seem pretty respectful. Like you, I'm not gonna burn him on the 'net, but I might plow a school on him next year if it comes up again.
