Sunday Trout

Saltwater Inshore Reports
1

Got out Sunday for some trout fishing. Ended up keeping 3 over 16 inches. While I was fishing by these 2 docks a guide came in with a party. I figured he was going to the next set of docks where I have seen him before. After I finished putting a fish in the cooler he slowly eased by (thank you) and then to my amazement he hooked a right and went right over the hole I was fishing and dropped the power pole and anchor! I thought what the F*#%. But being the good guy I am I just moved on to another spot to catch more fish. I know they make a living at guiding but come on!!

Nice report. Great to see that the trout are hitting. I had this happen to me before duck hunting but never fishing. Usually the TTP is to shine a Q-Beam on them until they get the picture. I believe I would have changed my pattern and started fishing a lot heavier…3-4 OZ pyramid sinkers.

I would have kept fishing the same hole. If their lines were in the way, I would have kept tangling them up until they got PO’d and moved.

Nicer than me I woulda been getting hooked upon ther lines and they woulda heard me the hole time

all of the above is mild compared to what my reaction would be…I absolutely hate rudeness and ill manners…

Most of the time as they are dropping anchor I’ll ask if they really are going to anchor there. If they did I would cast repeatedly about a foot short of their boat. Most people move when you ask if they are really going to anchor there. After about 5 min worth if they didn’t leave I would move on. My theory is they can take it and it’s not worth ruining my day but they’ll get the message after doing to a few people.

Who was the guide?

Real white of him whoever it was. Call out the boat make and engine that will serve him right as people will know to Look for his ridiculous behavior.

Naw man, just troll to within bout 10 feet of him and start talkin to everybody. Hey man, what kinda bait ya’ll got? Had any luck today? Got a bottle of water you can spare? Wish I could afford a boat like yours. After a while he would either tell me to shut the heck up or he’d move.

Longbeard I will not call the guide out. Hopefully he will see this and realize he was a#@hole. Funny thing is about ten minutes after I moved and got set up on more fish he was heading out. Which ment he didnt catch fish. To be honest if he would have asked me I could have put him on some nice trout since I had already figured out the pattern.
