Silver Hilton I think your query was right on and civil. I'm a banky...don't know where I'd park another boat as I got one for the salt and one for ducks. Other than not being in waters that are obviously innappropiate to any one:

1. Don't just blast through my water. Come off a plane well before you get into my casting area...and ease thru....maybe ask where I'd like you to pass....simple friendly hand signals usually works.

2. Don't stop and fish my water...unless you ask..I'm one of those guys who under certain conditions is willing to share.

3. Stop and shoot the sh@!t. Like to know how your fishin was, what you run into and whats workin for you. I usually return the favor.

4. Just be a considerate friendly fisherman out to have a good day of it.

5. Don't be in a hurry to the point you ignore the other guy.

Can't believe some of the posts on this subject?
Sad state of affairs and really points out why sportfishers have no voice...we ain't one voice.
