Jeanne and I were out on the lake today. We had just gotten into some schooling spots, and as I hooked one and brought him to the boat, another boat idles over to us, WITH HIS BIG MOTOR, asking how we are doing.
So there I am, trying to get a trebble hook out of a bass, Jeanne is still trying to cast into the school as they nail baitfish on top, and this guy is coming over, trying to talk to us over the idle of his motor from about 75 feet away, looking for feedback.
Now, I will gladly share with anyone, on any given day, whatever limited knowledge I have to help them catch fish, but because this guy came over with his motor on while we were actively working a school and trying to catch fish, I didn't want to give him the time of day.
And yes, the school shut down as he got close.
Don't ask what brand of boat he was driving, I'm embarrassed to admit it.
Unreasonable of me to expect better smarts out of the guy?
