Yesterday I marked some structure that heald fish, I used the standard marker buoys.

I made several drifts thru them and was catching fish. A man and lady that were not catching fish,  went right between the MY BUOYS and then turned to drag their lures under my boat. At first I figured he was inexperienced so I explained  that is was rude and since I found the sturcture and was fishing it, I would apprecieate it if he would not go thru my buoys.

His repsounce was "F*& # YOU its a public lake" .

Well first I ask how smart are you? To which he responded he had four years of college.

I said "ya, did not learn much did ya!"

So instead of fighting and beating his rear, I took up my buoys and left. Went about a mile down lake and was fishing without buoys and catching xome small bass in a small cove, low and behold here came smart butt full bore then shuts down and throws a huge wake.

Again I ask  "Are you just rude aor are you that stupid?"

Well other words between us came about and again instead of of a battle I decided to leave. But this time I trimmed the motor out and sprayed the crap out of him and his new Ranger. THe returned the big wake favor two fold.

Having a full tank of fuel, it was a nice wake too.

I figure if people are going to be rude, the lest I can do is try to wash to crud away. Maybe he learned his lesson, I am sure his lady friend gave him the were to too and what for after her shower.

Back at the ramp I was talking to some other people and they too had problems with the jerk. Since he had a new boat and no numbers on it what else could I do? LOL

This is the reason why I wish it was painful for people to be stupid.  Their stupidity hurts us, it would be nice if they felt it themselves.  Hopefully he will learn before someone waits for him at the landing and throws him a serious beatin.  You did the right thing in leaving, nowadays you don't know who is crazy enough to shoot you, you just got to assume everyone is.

That is a no win situation.  Unfortunately, it happens all too often.  

I would ask him to please go around my marker bouys, if he gave me lip, I would simply pick up my bouys without saying a word, and drive to a new location. As soon as I discover I'm dealing with a jerk, I'm done wasting my breath and time. No reason to lower yourself to his level.  

people really are friggen ridiculous.  

some people will go out of their way to give you a hard time.

I don't know why.  I can only guess it's a "bully" mentality.

Pulling up and moving on is always a good idea, but what do you do if the jerk has you in his sights and just won't leave you alone?

You did the right thing!

If people have no conscious, then it is nothing more then stooping to their level!

Ozarkie is wise in his action IMHO!!!

Example...I don't wish to change thread, but make a point.

If you have no sense of "HUMILITY" then you simply care not for your fellows!

On one of my maiden voyages, as pulling into the ramp dock (It was VERY windy) I nearly bumped my boat into a guys new boat. I asked my son to arm out and stop us from bumping. All was good in the end, but you could see in his face "Dang dude, awful close to my rig!"

I felt SMALL, BUT I was upfront to apologize for my INEXPERIENCE!

I believe that if I had said nothing, He WOULD have!

My point? Be humble and expect the same, but remember as ole Ron White states...

YOU CAN"T FIX STUPID! Not with a fight, they will heal and be the same!

I'd bet 9 times out of 10 that massive stupidity is most always accompinied by MASSIVE ARROGANCE!!!
