The pro did not move in on me or attempt to....I realized what was going on and I informed my clients what was happening...asked if they minded if I gave up this spot to the Pro and go somewhere else....they readily agreed to do so.
Now that is the way it is supposed to happen...no one moving in on someone...being a professional as this Pro was. I pulled up my trolling motor and signaled the Pro that he could have the spot...he hollered a big Thank You and we were off to another spot to fish. Not only was the Pro a professional but my clients deserve credit for realizing this man was trying to make a living and he only has a short time to do so and was willing to give up catching fish there to let him have the spot.
