Find your own fish spin off, guys who pot lick captains the day after a charter.

I've seen it countless times, bring groups of guys on Friday and on Sat they are in your spot or try to get in your boat like your buddies if they don't beat you to it. Buddy brought some guys on Friday behind Timbalier and limited out, next morning he doesn't have his anchor set and the sports are pulling up.

Douche move but not much you can do.
I want to know why so many guys turn fishing, which for me is a relaxing DAY on the water, into an Indy 500 race to see how fast you can limit out.

At least they didn't get there first. I'm split on this as I've often heard guides declaring that the best way to learn an area is to hire a guide. Kinda defeats the purpose of learning an area if you can't use what you learned. However if I were hiring a guide to learn an area I'd be more interested in navigational knowledge, hazards and local land marks not shown on maps. I'd also tell the guide in advance and ask for him to show me popular community holes to get me started in the right direction. And never would I mark a waypoint at someone else's honeyhole, whether it's a professional guide or co-angler, without his knowledge and consent.

Considering the cost of one of those trips, no fricks given

What were they wearing?

Get over yourself. Am I supposed to defer to a guide? Are the fish his? The real estate? I would never try to fish on top of anyone, but I've got as much right to fish an area as you do so deal with it.

So many thoughts. Let me start compiling.

That's what I pay you for.

Did they not pay you money for 2 days to show them where the fish are? I'd say you got the better end of the deal unless that's your only hotspot. If that's the case you need to find another line of work.

I at least have the decency to wear a fake mustache when I pull something like that.

I was on a charter in Lake P back in April 2011 jigging the causeway with a well known captain and this happened to us. Guys that had been fishing with him yesterday trying to imitate the pattern he taught them. Captain came within shouting distance when he saw they weren't doing something right and tried to offer advice - pretty classy.
The turn off about this captain is that we seemed to be there for his fishing trip and not for a guided trip. I told him ahead of time we'd have my GF who was a novice and I wanted to him to focus on helping her - to which he agreed. He sat up at the front of the boat trolling and would have first cast at every piling, and caught probably 80% of the fish. I asked him 3x what we weren't doing right and if he could help my GF, he told me that he had to man the trolling motor, just cast to the pilings and let the bait hit the bottom.

I think the most shocking thing about this thread is ST was fishing.
I spoke too soon.

Way too many charters out there who believe they own the damn water because they have paying customers.
