Everything.

People who can't understand the #1 key to consistently catching bass is between your ears not between the folds of your wallet.

People who don't understand consistently catching bass is a process of elimination and duplication. Eliminate patterns and waters that are non-productive and duplicate places and patterns that are productive.

Being retired & not living on the lake  :

Everything.

Yup, just about.

So,... Lesson #1 is "Lint" has no effect on catching fish?  :-/ ;D

Friends who say lets go fishing.  So you kick around some future dates and times and then they can't go.

jet skiers, they ski way to close to the shore.

Crappie fisherman who who motor right up to the structure you are fishing and sit on it for hours then show off their way-over-the-limit catch at the dock.

Littering and over the limit catching gets on my nerves the most.

Lack of common curiosity is a high second.

I have very little patience when it comes to complete idiots who just doesn't care about anybody else or the law.  

I have to say that allot of these annoy me too.

Mostly the littering especially when garbage cans are right there.

And Tweekers.

Nothing to do with fishing but annoying just the same - retailers who start jamming Christmas down your throat before Halloween. Seems to start a tiny bit earlier every year.

Same thing goes for radio stations, and some of the people in my neighborhood. Ho Ho Ho.

Mosquitoes

Those people who keep everything they catch at a local pond, even 4-5 inch bass, and keep them all in a plastic shopping bag. >

Nailed it.  Drives me nuts fishing with someone that thinks they should catch more fish than ever just because of their fancy @$$ new Loomis, or whatever it is that they just bought.

Also drives me nuts when someone says the fish aren't biting today when the only change they have made all day was switching their t-rig plastic from a worm to a craw.  Refusal to accept that a bait isn't working on a given day is the worst, especially if you're in a tournament with someone you don't know too well and don't want to sound like an arse for telling them how they should fish.

Those massive wake boarding boats that are designed to make the biggest waves they possibly can.  It's even worse when the people on those boats are so confident in themselves and how cool they are, that they will get close to you while you're fishing just so you can see how awesome they are at wake boarding.  I just can't even begin to comprehend what it must feel like to be so stupid that a person doesn't think causing a guy in a bass boat to go down to one knee and hold onto his bass chair just to keep from falling in the lake is a problem.  Me and some of my buddies have come up with a new rule: If you get so close to my fishing boat that I'm able to cast a crank bait and hook you with it... I'm probably going to try.  

knocking a rod overboard off of the deck of your boat,jumping in to get it,getting it only to realize you have your cell phone in your pocket.Done this a couple of times.........

bugs.

wind.

loud people.

bugs.

the fish that snags your bait then runs under the drop off and spits out the hook only to leave you snagged on a giant rock.

litter-ers.

loud drunk people.

people that think just because they have the biggest boat they could buy they are the king of the marina.

people who do donuts and burnouts in the parking lot right behind you because they drive a corvette/mustang/tricked out honda/etc..

there is some more , but im drawing a blank now..

LOL... I guess I should add on to my list:

- BUGS inlcuding litter bugs

- people who take every fish they catch

- waves caused by fast moving boats who don't respect you fishing

=P

You're 50' from the shore and some idiot "pleasure boats" between you and the bank. There is VERY LITTLE common courtesy anymore. And stupid seagulls ruining a topwater bite. And that friggin' cotton that sticks to your line and lure in spring. Lakefront homeowners that blow all of their leaves into the water.

"There it is"...."D'oh"..... >

A lot!!  But mostly, wake boarders and rock bass...I don't know how many worms I've lost to them little ^@%$@!$.

Oh God YES..... I experienced that clown about 3 years ago. Hopefully he reads Bassresource.

Breath Sam! Breath!

My short list: Jetskiiers, waterskiiers, and wind.

we used to have jetski problems till they found out our bass boats are faster than their skis 95% of the time.

 

WINTER!!!

WINTER!!!

OKAY... You win... I HATE WINTER!!!!!!! Only thing I like about it is Christmas season when the sales are effective and the people are jolly.

A hot fudge sundae to-go and they leave off the nuts and cherry!

When newbees or fellas that have been around for a while, are looking for help with non-top of the line gear, and people try to steer them to something els. Usually starts out: I have 50 to 60 bucks for a reel, I have narrowed it down to 2 reels, niehter of them Shimano. Then it starts , well spend 20 bucks more, or Shimano, being the best, BLAH<BLAH<BLAH, just pitiful. It happens a lot here, that is why i stay off those threads. >
