Boating/Fishing Etiquette 101

Ok this for those folks who may not understand the etiquette of boating or for that matter fishing. So here is the skinny on it. First if you are gonna slow down for someone ..slow down!!! that half speed only creates bigger waves. So either slow down all the way or just speed on by. Second, if someone is fishing down a bayou/canal, do not motor in front of them and start fishing. Catching or not, its not RIGHT. Personally, I don't mind fishing behind others. They aren't going to catch all the fish and they may not be using what you are. That also goes for lakes too..Get behind someones drift not in front of it. Its cool to motor up to people catching fish to ask their advice, just don't disrupt their spot. Seldom does one spot hold all the fish. Besides cold weather dead ends, most spots will have fish scattered throughout the system. So my advice is to observe what folks catching fish are doing, then give them their space..It will make you a better fisher and certainly a better person for being courteous. Admittedly, I have been guilty of some of the above. Sorry to my fishing Buds... Sometimes you have in your head where the fish are and where you have caught them before and just can't help yourself. But for the most part please do your best to be kind to your fellow fisher person. Good luck fishing. Hope to see ya on the water
