GET OFF OUR STERN!!!

[WAHOONBOX]

WHY DO A SELECT FEW "CAPTAINS" FEEL THE NEED TO CUT DIRECTLY ACROSS A ANOTHER MAN'S STERN WHILE BLUEFINNING? WILL SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER THIS FOR ME? I DON'T GET IT?

200 YARDS IS WAY TOO CLOSE!!!......WHY NOT JUST TURN OFF BEFORE YOU CROSS TOO CLOSE BEHIND ANOTHER BOAT?


YESTERDAY....MID-DAY.... MOMENTS PRIOR TO OUR 5TH HOOK-UP OF THE WEEK....I NOTICED A BOAT APPROACHING VERY VERY CLOSE TO OUR RIGHT LONG RIGGER....HE WAS COMING IN AT 90 DEGREES TO US SQUARELY.....80 YARDS AWAY.....YOU GOT TO BE SHITTING ME!

I SAID TO ROB STANDING NEXT TO ME : "WHY DO THIS?"...HE KEPT COMING....AND COMING..."IF WE GET HIT NOW THE FISH IS GOING TO GO STRAIGHT AWAY AND INTO HIS GEAR".

THE WORDS NO MORE PARTED MY LIPS WHEN THE SHALLOW OLD SALTY PLANER BAIT GOT HIT! GAME ON !!! GEEEZUS H AND HE'S HEADING STRAIGHT FOR THE RUDE INTRUDING BOATS GEAR.....

THE BEAST QUICKLY HAILED HIM ON THE RADIO AND HE DID TURN OFF IMMEDIATELY.....BUT HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THERE TO BEGIN WITH....I DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE 50 YEARS BEHIND THE HELM....YOU ARE DEAD WRONG AND GUYS LIKE THIS COST CREWS SANTA CLAUS MONEY EVERY YEAR DOING THIS.


STAY AWAY FROM OTHER PEOPLES STERNS!!! DO NOT CROSS CLOSE BEHIND ANOTHER MANS BOAT....DOESN'T MATTER IF HE IS HOOKED UP OR NOT....DON'T CROSS STERN PATHS.....

WE WERE VERY LUCKY YESTERDAY....THE MAN WAS LOOKING DOWN ON US...WE HAD NEW 200# MAINLINE ON THE 130 AND OUR GEAR MUST HAVE HIT THE INTRUDERS PLANER MESS....TAKE A LOOK AT THIS CLOSE UP OFF MY MAINLINE JUST ABOVE THE SWIVEL.....NOTICE IT IS CUT 2/3 THE WAY THROUGH BY A PLANER BLADE.....





AS WE WERE IN OUR UP AND DOWN TUG-A-WAR WITH EL STUD MUFFIN YESTERDAY...CAPT BRIAN NOTICED THE CHAFFED CURLY MONO HAIRS SHOWING.....THIS FORCED US TO LIGHTEN THE DRAG SOMEWHAT AND ALTER OUR GAME PLAN OF ATTACK....

LUCKY FOR US THE MAINLINE HELD....FOR SOME CREWS, LUCK DID NOT HELP THEM.

THE " ENERGIZER " YESTERDAY COLLECTED THE GEAR FROM AN ENCROACHING INTRUDING BOAT WHO FELT THE NEED TO FISH TIGHT TO CAPT PETE YESTERDAY AND CAUSED PETE TO LOSE HIS FISH......NO EXCUSES PEOPLE!....

CAPT PETE MY FRIEND..... I FELL FOR YA DUDE. ....YOU DON'T DESERVE THIS BULLSHIT....

I PATTED PETE ON THE BACK YESTERDAY AS HE WAS HEADING HOME TELLING HIM TO KEEP HIS CHIN UP....IT'S BEEN A ROUGH START FOR HE AND HIS LONG TIME PITMAN GRAY THIS YEAR....BUT AS MOST PROFESSIONAL CAPTAINS WILL RESPOND.....PETE CAME BACK WITH A POSITIVE REPLY.....AND A POSITIVE ATTITUDE.

"WE WILL GET HIM NEXT TIME!"

c'mon marty, one answer to this . they see the runoff, problem is they think there smart running across your stern, instead of swinging wide and running somewhat parallel. brain surgens,

Paint that boat white!

Just like duck hunting, The black boat needs a decoy out there. Draw the crowds to the decoy and you just keep on slaying...

Box you said a mouth full there, we had one cross our spread Saturday, we we should have asked him how the experimental top secret bait was swimming

Then you have the down south yahoos in the KMT boats that see the fish blow up on the bait and proceed to plow right thru the bait ball and fish only to spook them and kill the feeding free for all, that really @(&#^^$ me off. Last year I fished with Baywolf on the next to the last day and Capt. Pete, you guys and us were fishing a bait ball that had rolled up and fat BFT's and a shark where having a field day. Everyone "worked" around the bait ball, then a whackoff decides to cut thru everyone and the fish/bait and scattered the mess, Capt. Pete came tight very quickly..... with the shark Some guys have no idea

Mount a skeet thrower on the bridge that launches over the stern. Any boat inside 200 yards catches pepper....start with #8's and work your way up to rubber buckshot if they don't get the message.

I feel your pain BOX. Nothing pisses me off more than some asswipe cutting through our spread. We lost a $48000 king to some idiot who came back and cut our fish off.

How I really feel? Have you ever seen those anti riot guns that shoot the small beanie bags? Someone cuts you off being stupid, you should meet them at the dock and pop them in the gut with oneof these things, I bet they'd get the point real quick!
