Default Re: Where's the on the water etiquette ?

I feel your pain. I had to deal with a lot of inconsiderate boaters out there inshore. I really had thought boaters were helpful considerate people on the same team but they are no different then the next driver on the parkway. All about themselves.
Trying to boat my first Bass of the year and I pull away from the fleet to find my own empty section of birds, bait, and bass breaking surface to only find myself swarmed by other boats in seconds. Like magic, they appeared out of nowhere. Others plowing right through bass breaking the surface knocking everything down and making them scatter. I say nothing and just shake my head but the last guy in a bigger boat heading home seemed to ddeliberately plow through the pod I was working with tons of room arouns all sides of me. All I could do was hold out my arms and say thanks!
I know it isn't all boaters, there are so many helpful cool boaters out there but the JO's that are all about themselves make it less desirable to even be near other boats.
