Bone heads following the pros on KY

[buddylee]

It's being reported on several NATIONAL web sites how some guys(not all) are following the pros around during the Elite series event and even coming in right on top of them to GPS the spot or fish it themselves. Guys could GPS the spot as the pro is leaving not while he's still fishing it. Obviously this could alter the outcome of the event. These guys are fishing for $100,000 not $50 at a club tournament. Respect their water. This is the first time since 1993 that BASS has held a major event on KY lake and some aren't showing these guys much hospitality. I'm sure the guys that have done this to the pros wouldn't want someone coming in on them even if they weren't fishing a tournament. It's a matter of respect. These guys do this for a living. Some don't have major sponsors to pay the bills they feed their families off their winnings. If you need to find spots that bad hire Dave Stewart and he can show you some and teach you how to catch them.

It all comes down to what the first lady of soul had to say!
RESPECT
Without it we are all a..holes!

It does not matter if you are fishing for $50.00 or $100,000.00 we all need to respect each other out there on the water, at the ramps, and on the roads.

Hey, it's all part of the game! If you don't like it, go play golf or something ridiculous like that!

I was there and fished Barkley. There was not much pressure on the Pros last week as I fished around them. I am glad they did not fish the ledges I was fishing on Barkley. I had a very good trip and averaged 5 best 18 lbs per day. As far as the Locals running up on Swindle, That was completely and utterly rude. These Jerks dont understand how to watch and learn, Just fish and burn.

Oh well. I guess thats why they call "OUR" lakes public domain. I am all for being respectful of each other but if they don't like it or anyone doesn't like it for that matter, make a private "tournament only" lake.

Wow there spider....that was really profound.

[spidergrub]

Profound, pro-found', adjective, or what the "Bone head" wrote in his note book after he spotted Swindell.....Another Pro-found! Just havin some fun.

I just realized another advantage of being a terrible fishermen as I am, nobody is following me around to GPS all my spots. I usually have my spots all to myself, my boat and the water for there are no fish around either. Me, myself, I, boat and water just the 5 of us together as one.

I'm pretty sure most of these "boneheads" you're talking about are the Northern Tour guys practicing for the tourney this week. Those fellas were EVERYWHERE this weekend.

[gump]

I wonder how many of these guys were Northern Tour guys getting a head start on next week?

I agree about letting the pro`s have thier space. Some pro`s however do the exact same thing. I do not no how many followed and gps the spots we were fishing before the Stren Series. Jimmy Mize cut in on us today and started fishing. To bad all he caught was dinks. Did not know how to fish the ledge.
