Fishing Manners

[Fly Guy]

This saturday we were trolling the rock wall just south of the Allatoona Yacht club and rounded the corner to head up toward the break wall when we spotted a bass boat trolling the wall. As we converged, (but still 100 ft. apart) the guys on the other boat announced that they would give me the perferred line. What a treat! I do not know who they were but I was impressed with their awareness and their attitude and friendliness!

Just wanted to say thanks guys! (Who ever you are) You added to my fun on the lake. And as it turned out, it was the highlight of the day! LOL The sun cooked me and the fish teased me.

Last April, I was fishing on a Saturday morning, and 1 guy had been fishing this tree (that yall cut) It was my first day with a trolling motor, and the only way I could find to keep in control, when on a 12 footer, was to keep it running constantly, and just cover a lot of water. Well, I come around a point, and here he is fishing this tree, working around it, and when I get up there (when trying to stop, I started loosing control, so I kept going) he told me to go on through, and said that he had caught himself a 2 1/2 pounder on it. I thought that was nice. A lot of guys don't like a 14 year old out there alone (as if I am gonna bother them) and feel they have the right of way no matter what.
