Ok ive been biting my but I think its time to say something now. [mad][mad][mad]
Ive been trying to be a well rounded fisherman and have been doing some bass fishing. I mostly fly fish but I grew up bait fishing and wanted to come full circle.
As of recently Ive been hitting a a few lakes up north, Mantua, Newton, Willard. I no longer have a boat (execpt a inflatable pontoon) and have been shore fishing for the last few years. These last few outings it never seems to fail some NIMROD in his boat comes cruising over and drives right over were Im casting OR anchors literally feet from were Im standing. [#0000bf]Deleted[/#0000bf] !!! I know you bass fisherman are working the shoreline same as me but your in a FREAKING BOAT you have access to the entire lake. Skipping a 20 foot section isn't going to hurt you. I know when I'm walking the shoreline and I see a boat fishing a section I keep on walking I don't stop walk down the shore and starting fishing right at your boat.
I will say there have been a few at Mantua that are very respectful seen me on the shore line and went around me If your one of these guys then Id like to buy you a beer or a soda whatever (its utah[cool]...)
I'm to the point were Im going start tying some old 4oz pyramid sinkers I used on my boat those things shoot like juggernauts If you close enough for me to hit from the shore YOUR BAD I spoke with a ranger TODAY at willard and he agrees if a boat is close enough for you to hit with a cast there to close to the shore.
