We want to share this comical situation from last Saturday while fishing in Rochester. Two things happened during that day.
First thing in the morning, we were out all by ourselves trolling east of IBAY in the shallow water with inline boards out. Guess what came next, a charter boat motoring all the way from the west and slowly stopped in front of us and cutting us off from the virgin fishing ground. While there were nobody in the water, this captain doesnt seem to be very bright when he decided to cut us off and set up his gear in front of us. I am not talking about 300 yards, I am talking about 30 to 40 yards in front of us. I do not understand why did this has to happen. Of course, we were very upset by this type of intrusion. For the next 20 minutes, I kept pushing ramming the boat up in to back of the captain's a$$. There is no way this charter boat can catch a fish like that with me on the boat behind his butt. I have made it a point in the past that I would graciously allow the charter boat go by their business however for someone to cut us off like that when there is nobody in the water, I will not BACK DOWN.
Second incident, we were trolling in between the mud plume and green water. Out of no where, a large Tug Boat came in rushing in between our boat and another boat that was trolling. I couldnt believe my eyes. With the whole water wide open, this tug boat jerk had to decide to be funny for the moment. This tug boat has completely pinned the other boat. Some harsh words were exchanged over the VH radio. Thankfully, my deafness prevents me from hearing any ugly words.
I will post photo of this incident.
I am gonna look around for a water balloon launcher................... Word to Wise: please respect the fellow anglers & boaters
