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...

Wow. spounds like 2 wrongs makes a right with this crowd 
Maybe I'm just a fag, but when somene gets in my way I move over quietly. If they get in my way agian, i give them gentle words. If they keep getting in my way and ignore my words, thats a different story, but to attack someone without warning them is rude. |
