Larry, I can't understand how you can try to keep it coming back to distance? I maintained atleast 150' at any time. And I didn't set up on his drift - I was on the side of their drift. I approached and was using my fish finder of which I have 2. There were boats that did the same to me atleast 4 or 5 times during the day.
CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND IT ISN'T an issue of protecting ground. It is one of complete rudeness/racism/verbal assault percipitated by a captain fostering this in his guests and barreling down on another boat. Have you ever fished the spawning grounds near "B" bouy? there are times there you can jump boat to boat because of them being so close together. Don't jump through hoops to justify your such bad behavior.
