You know the guy next to you is fishing too close when (just for fun)

- When the guy next to me asks where i bought the sign on my shack that reads "If you can read this your fishing too close".

- When your neighbor doesn’t have to ask "what are they biting on", because its easier to just look.

- When I hand them a flyer for our guide service and explain they already have a tab started. smile

- When they mistakenly try to set the hook when YOUR bobber goes down.

Fisherman 1: "hey, wanna know how to keep a guy that fishes too close to you in suspense?"

Fisherman 2 "How?"

Fisherman 1: "I'll tell you Tomorrow"

When you catch his fish on your line.

Had it happen on a local lake once. Guy must have not been paying attention. his line and crappie get wraped around my line. We were only about 15ft apart, didn't know him but had a little fun at his expence wink

Had this happen to me this past weekend...Only difference is that it was my nephew and it was in my portable. He said he had a bite and lifted his rod...nothing there? I got a bite, lifted my rod, then he had a bite, I reeled in and wallah, there was his blue line, his white gil pill and my glow lindy fatboy and orange line with "our" 'gil on the end.

When you see him pacing off the legal ten feet he needs to be away from your fish house. Then they constantly come in your fish house to warm up and they watch there bobber from your window. You realize this was there plan all along hence the hole 10 ft from your window. As you enjoy a cold beer they say "the only reason I didn't bring beer was I thought I would be to cold for one, but I could sure go for one now".

Yes Boar, that actually happened.. I was catching nice gills and he kept creeping closer and closer.. I went to take a fish off and reach behind me for my glove and when I turned around his line was goin down my hole.. I just said [PoorWordUsage] are you doing? he said Im gunna CATCH FISH TOO if it takes all day. SO seeing it ws a 10 in hole i sent my line back down and still caught a fish before him smile... he promptly left saying a few expletive deletes wink

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
