Has anyone every had a couple fishing charter boats try to push you off a site?
I went to the rube today and there were some charter boats trolling the site. We pulled up slow and throw up the flag and stopped dead in the water about 100 yrds from the site to think of what to do next, move on or wait and see what they're doing. Then I hear them on the radio talk about running me off, cutting across my bow and see how close they can come to me. This all took place in less than 2 mins so I decided to sit there. So for 5 or 10 mins I sat listening to the 3 boats ( Snoopy II, Double Hooked and a third no name boat)
"lets make 'em work for it" 'I'm going to cut across his bow" "he's looking mad now." One boat cut across my bow within 30' from me, they're now trolling a tight circle in front of my boat. After one said, I think he's angry now, I key'd up and said, "no but, I'm enjoying the show" then one said, "we'll be moving on in about 10 mins" I replied "I'll come back then" and moved on. So why didn't they just say something to me in the first place instead of trying to intimidate me?
