Started on top of steadmans with a spook about daylight. Water was dead and no takers. Set up a drift to both sides with bait under thunder. Still dead. Went in search of fresher water and scooted out to the ship channel area. Started hooking up with trout. Guess I couldn't hide it enough because soon there were two boats with me. Then a third came in under trolling motor power and anchored, cutting off my drift. So, it was time to go. I nicely trolled out then headed to a like area a mile or so down and started hooking up again. And again, a boat comes in tight and trolls across my drift within 50 yards or so. They didn't anchor though and eventually moved on down the road doing their thing. Boxed five healthy trout, one over 18, all in about 5 ft of water, on pink thunder, 29 in. Flouro leader, no jewelry.

| Way to control yourself. You came in with some nice fish despite some very rude, or ignorant, anglers behavior. All the while you demonstrated the correct way to maneuver your craft. |

Thanks for the compliment shallowsport. The man who trolled close to me had a mud motor. I would have thought he knew better, but I guess not. It looked like this was a normal run for him and his wife, and he intended to fish that line regardless. However he did keep looking back at my drift when he crossed over. The boat that anchored up was a family. They did have the courtesy to troll in although the two of us could have almost hit baits. I'm guessing they just didn't know. Their anchor was mighty shiny. |

| Some people just don't know when they're doing wrong. Those that do and don't care, those are the ones that irk me and make me wanted to just do circles around them |

| We were fishing Redfish Bay a couple of weeks ago in two boats drifting about 60 yards apart and throwing artificials. Some female guide with 5 guys on the boat ran right between us. I would have thought a professional would have been more courteous. |
