You stop the boat, cast right in there direction. I've done the other way around and its effective but just make sure that if you do hook up to his line you get his lure to boat with nife in hand.

Can't you just hear the sound of lead banging off their hull? And the look on their faces?.... priceless

I agree with several of the postings... you slow to a drift through the area, pull out your biggest plugs, cast over them, and foul them but good... eventually, they will get tired of replacing leaders and move.  Very easy to time where and when a short caster is going to hit the water. |
See you out there,
Ron

It never fails to amaze me on how rude or ignorant or both some people can be. I would have drifted or trolled right where I was going before and as I got close enough I would have voiced my opinion, nicely. If they continued to block me then I guess we would both have a rotten time fishing for the rest of the time there. Paul

I would give them the benefit of the doubt first. I would drive up to them slowly and appeal to their sense of sportsmanship and explain to them how I viewed the situation. I would then suggest that they move to the side of the hole and cast over it while allowing me to continue my drifts through the hole.
Not sure what I would have done if that didn't work. I think I would have had to be there.

I have had this happen to me before!! and then when the A$$ heads up for another run they come so close to the boat just to see if they can see what we are using, Rocking the boat all over the place!!
Like Cape I made a run stright for them and just miss them, I do this a couple of times in a row, and they get the hint and leave!!

I find instances like this to enforce the Coast Guards mandate of a signaling device,A flare shot on their deck is a good way to indicate to the arrogant boater to get out of your way!

Make it idiot proof, and someone will make a better idiot.

I would have nicely told the people not sit on my drift, unless it was Capt. Mike Bartlett, who is an ass. If they continued I would have probablt inadvertantly "oops" and snag their fly line which is probably not a match for heavy braid on a conventional....
It doesn't take much to show a little respect. Fishing needs to have something like bowling, a quick courtesy to the schmo in the lane next to you...
