Approaching others?

[Marke Cicero]

Hey Gang,



I've been thinking about something for a while and thought you guys could help.



What's the proper eticate for approaching other fisherman on the lake? Every body of water I fish usually contains myself and at least 2 other Tracker/Nitro boats, yet I there are only 5 NH members here on the board.



I usually want to go over and say "Hi" and chat, but I don't want come across as annoying or intrude on someones peaceful or relaxing fishing trip. Nor do I want to seem like I'm creeping in on one of their hot spots. So I usually just drive by and give a wave and smile.



What do you guys do?



Thanks,



Marke

On the lake I will say hi and how you doing. Just to see what kind of reaction I will get back. But I don't really approach them to talk to them. I have NitroOwners.com on the side of my boat. I figure if they notice it, maybe they will ask me about it.



But in the parking lot, that's a different story. I try to leave a Nitro/Tracker Owners site card on every truck that has a Nitro or Tracker Trailer attached to it. I just put between the glass and weather stripping on the drivers door above the door handel. That way they are sure to see it. I will talk to the guys or gals that are standing around their Nitro or Tracker and tell them about the site.



But on the water I like to give them their space..



JMHO

Marke, I do like John does. A while back he supplied anyone that wanted it a file for making your own Nitro/Tracker Owners website business cards. Which reminds me I have to print some more. It's really a nice way to spread the word.



Rich, Is there any way the file could be made available in the grab bag section? If John doesn't mind that is.
