    If you can hit them with a paintball gun, they're too close.

    Re: Fishing ethics

    Ive actually had a crappie fisherman come in and tie up to the tree I was fishing,yes was fishing a T.
    But not normally bad on Ky lake by other T fishermen,and seems worse up north in the small amount of the lake thats actually in Ky.
    Most from what ive seen is from recreational crappie and bream fishermen,as for fishing ledges we dont own them,but once on them about 50 yards should be respected.
    Once in a T last year we had a stretch of bank that was producing well as we turned to go back down it another boat edged in where we had stopped at and slowly followed us in to our honey hole behind us,then once in the hot spot never ever moved back out of it,catching one 4 plus kicker,it happens.He did it legal but still smelled,he knew it was the hot spot,had watched us go back and forth a few times,then eliminated our best section.We were frogging ,he sat and wormed and never moved out of it once in.I did throw a bully wa 85 at him and he was 50 yards away hit within 15 ft of him in the front ,he got the message.But its one of the few times a T fisherman did squeeze in ( and he did it legally) just could see it coming,hugging that 50 yard length and following us in then holding still.

    No if you can hit them they are just right. I prefer the pink ones so they can explain to their buddys what happened.

    If you can hit them with a paint gun then hit them with a paint gun is what I say.

    I use my Tater Gun! LOL
    They're all over..everywhere!

    Get too close and I will guarantee you will not catch another fish and you'll be too busy trying to hang onto your rod as it's leaving your boat from me intentionally dragging my crankbait across your lines.
    I also use a loud airhorn as you cast that will lesson your chances of concentration!
    If you want to an ass...go ahead!

    It all comes down to respect..which most don't even know the meaning of the word.
