When you fish from the bank as much as I do, you're bound to run into a few problems with boaters. But, this example is so ridiculous if I didn't have it on video you probably wouldn't believe it. Not the way I wanted to start the 2024 fishing season. More fishing videos, carp bait recipes, fishing gear list, and other good stuff linked below. Thanks for watching.

I just had a bunch of these idiots do the exact same thing to me on the Detroit River while I was walleye jigging from shore. These boats have the entire river but want to drift 20 feet from shore where all of us guys who are fishing from shore have lines in the water so ive started to make a habit of keeping about 2 dozen 2 ounce egg sinkers in my tackle box and if they don't take heed to the "warning" shot of me casting my 1 ounce walleye jig 3 feet from there boat I start throwing the 2 ounce sinkers onto their boats. Broke a guys windshield last week and he pulled into shore to "fight" me until he realized I'm a life long Detroiter who doesn't play games and will kick 3 of their asses at once on my own. They tucked tail and got back on their boat after they realized what kind of "individual" I am. Unfortunately there's 300 boats on the river this time of year and half of em don't have respect for the guys who fish from shore so I'll just keep throwing sinkers at em. 😡 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@quasar8898 День назад

Similar experience here. USA, Pa- some years back. Shore fishing a large lake with my young daughters and a buddy. The Fish Commission stocking boat was stocking trout- and saw there were kids on the shore, so they dumped a bunch of fish about 20yds in front of us. Within five minutes, a ten foot metal john boat raced over and parked BETWEEN us on shore and the spot the fish were stocked. We tried talking to them, they could have fished the same spot from the other side- without totally blocking our fishing. They got rude and angry- so my buddy and I put large, heavy wooden bobbers on our poles (no Hooks) and started casting directly at their boat. We hit the boat, hit them a few times too. They threatened to land and "Beat our *sses". We stood up- both of us are over 6ft, 250lbs. They decided to leave.LOL.

We left, and as we were going to the car I noticed a set of keys on the ground by their car.

@mrfilamfishing Месяц назад

This happened to us but the role is switched. We were fishing a spot in Lake Sonoma and we were on a boat. We were catching fish left and right at this one spot. We were pretty close to the bank. Then these bank anglers walked up and started casting where our lines were. One of them tangled out line. We confronted them and they didn't say a thing. We ended up leaving the spot and as we were leaving, they caught a 5lber. Could've been our fish. Point is, there's an unwritten rule that if someone is already fishing a spot, you give them space and move along. Don't be that guy and step on people's toes just because the spot is hot.

Tell that to people, who either don't know any better or just plain don't care. They see you catch a big fish or many, which ever the case may be and move in on you, as if you weren't even there.

Argument could (and maybe should) be made that this guy was interfering with their trolling pattern and HE should get a ticket. I mean he has proof that this is a trolling location and clearly decided to set up his stationary lines blocking not 1 but 2 boats from a complete trolling pass. Dude should have reeled up for the few minutes to let the boats pass instead of the boat trying to gauge the proper distance to move away from shore (and off the break line where the fish are) so they don't clip this asshats lines.

They left behind so much trash that we finally got the Fish & Game Wardens to come out. At night they caught & fined many of them for their illegal snagging of the salmon. Most of them also got tagged for Trespassing as parts of the river passed through private lands.

As a boater I avoid bank fishermen. I have got tangled with a couple of people because I was unaware where their lines were but I apologize and felt stupid for doing it. I bass fish and don't troll but occasionally people will leave lines out unattended. If you don't see anyone on their dock you assume no one is fishing but if someone is fishing I don't fish that dock. You have to show respect to earn it. For me fishing is peace of mind and don't want to be angry while doing so. Some people don't have common sense. We need to respect each other. There's some docks where the dock owners don't like it when you fish close so to avoid confrontation I just don't fish them.

@TCK-9 Месяц назад

Unattended lines are another big problem. I run into that everywhere I fish and people leave lines out on purpose constantly which trollers snag the rigs or drag the rods into the lake. Usually, they were leaving out big baits like panfish or suckers to catch Musky leaving the fish on the hook for hours as they nap or watch a movie, or worse they catch a loon and it struggles until it dies. Now I generally cut the lines and free the bait/fish or rescue the loon. (keep a towel in the boat to throw over them and they settle down)

Several years ago I was sailing into a marina on the Columbia and a guy was fishing across the entrance. It was dusk and I didn't see him or his line. He was sitting in his car on the jetty. My keel had already caught his line and drug his rig in. I was under sail as I normally sailed into my slip. He came over to the marina and wanted me to buy him a rig. I said no way. "You expect me to see your fishing line when you didn't see a 25 ft boat with a 30 ft mast? This river is hundreds of miles long but you chose to fish at the entrance to the marina." he agreed and left.

A good number of years ago A buddy and me were bank fishing on a section of back bay down the shore. There was a boat with four guys in it, all older, who kept snagging our lines. When we complained, they said we were fishing 'Their water'. I'm not sure they realized how accurate I was at casting big sinkers with big hooks tied on for effect. Nor did they notice that one of us, my buddy suddenly was gone. (He was an amazing swimmer, and free diver). The first sign they noticed that something was really wrong was when he reappeared on the shore holding a drain plug hollering "Hey guys, you know what this is for?". It didn't sink in right away. Then they realized that all their lines were cut and tied together under their boat. As one guy reeled in one line, it pulled the line on the opposite side down. They sat there fighting each other for a bit before they realized they were taking on water. By the time they realized what a guy holding a drain plug on the shoreline laughing meant, all they could do was beach the boat so it didn't sink. Too bad they chose to beach it on the muddy marsh side of the channel, we could have had another conversation on life's lessons. That same buddy who swam out and took their drain plug was good for tricks like that. We always wondered why he ever came fishing in a boat because so many times he'd just roll off the back of the boat and disappear for hours. One of the first incidents we had with him was back in the 80's when he first got out of the service. We were out catfishing, that time in a boat, when a guy on a jetski kept circling the boat and running off, we moved twice and he followed us. Then we heard a splash and my buddy slipped into the water off the back. As the jetski came by again, all we saw was an arm come up out the water and the guy face planting in the drink. As the jetskit circled and came to a stop, my buddy climbed on it and took off. We didn't see him again till the next day. The guy on the jetski got picked up by a buddy and they went looking for the lost ski. We never did get the story on what happened to the jetski, but I suppose he ran it till it ran out of gas or it left at some water-side bar or marina, or gifted to the first person who would take it. He would never say and since he's no longer with us, we will never know.

i kinda had the opposite thing happen today cuz some bank fisherman had their lines essentially across a entire small lake with the help of 1 of those rc bait boats and where yelling at me for being near their lines but i yelled at them that their lines are to far and cant expect to stop any boat traffic for the for the lake cuz they wanted to spread their lines almost bank to bank across

@canesrock82 Месяц назад

Dude, I think you handled that well. Sometimes assholes are assholes...

@robwalls6057 Месяц назад

I can't stand boaters who think they own the lake. Seriously, you HAVE A BOAT and can fish anywhere on the lake and so why is it so hard to go somewhere else. Its no different then when you go hunting on public land, you over slept, show up late and someone else beat you to the spot and instead of going elsewhere, they decide to sit by you. These are the same people when they see you get on the fish , if in a boat they drive over to your location or if on the bank, they will move towards you snd literally get within 10 feet of you and have the audacity to cast into your fishing spot with their lines being only a few feet from yours and of course they end up getting tangled on your lines. Ive been fishing and hunting for 40 years and ive easily had well over hundred of these types of negative encounters with other sportsman. Its shameful to say the least.

@ShtarkerFishing Месяц назад

Yeah, we've got those idiots out here too. We actually had a guy in a kayak go through all our lines and then still drift all the way to the bank right in front of us last week 😆

@gregbohannon9366 Месяц назад

there is no reason to be trolling in anything less than 15 foot of water. Early spring trolling with my dad we always targeted 20 to 25 ft. and that was Minnesota in May.

@user-ly9nm3wt1r Месяц назад

Well, not really , in some cases some of the best flounder fishing around is in two feet or less of water. But that no excuse for those morons fishing through the bank guy . If I see a bank guy , I give him/ her wide berth. I’ve run through lines myself, and was embarrassed no end … I didn’t see the guy or his rod… all I could do was to offer to pay for his rig

@johnwebb2232 4 дня назад

I feel your pain. People like that really piss me off. I'll be standing on the dock with my line out, and they'll come right beside me and cast out about two feet from my line. Or they'll cast over my line. They have no sense of respect for your space. There's a lot of idiots out there that maybe should take up under water basket weaving instead of fishing. Take care and keep that line tight.

@thetoymanator7723 Месяц назад

I have a similar story. I fish in a tidal river from the bank and cast out no more than 15 metres (about 16 yards). The river is at least 200 metres (220 yards) wide. Up river is a rowing club and they tend to get out rowing with their coach following in a powered boat early mornings while fishing. Instead of going out into the middle of the river, they row past about 10 metres from the bank and always snag my line and those of other fishers. After this went on for a few fishing sessions, I changed all my lines to 100lb breaking strain. Heavy to fish but I get joy from seeing them tangled in fishing line that they have no chance of snapping off. Not my fault if it cuts into their arms. They will learn eventually.

Boat fishermen out on Lake Michigan do this to each other, too. They’ll cross each other’s spreads and get tangled, and then it’s a competition to see who can reel in the fastest with the strongest line. The winner gets a new rig. I think there’s some guys who do this on purpose just to “prove their manhood”. Probably just compensating for some other deficiencies in their lives.

@Dev-jl9kp 2 дня назад

Unfortunately i did this to someone trolling for salmon. they were on the bank amongst rocks and trees and i did not see them. River was moving fast so i told them i will cut my line and come back to get gear. At first they were pissed but then got better when i apologized and cut my own lines with $40.00 tolling rigs on each to make it easier to untangle. no one lost any gear, just 10 minutes of fishing time. I always go wide when i see someone fishing, but it is tough to see people some times when they are in the trees and rocks along the bank.(FYI, I fish this river often and had never seen anyone along that stretch of bank before, did not even know there was access. If i know there is river access, i don't even fish that stretch, or move to the other side). For those that say i could fish the middle, well the salmon move along the banks for the most part to stay away from seals.

Great Idea, Tom, take the high road and pull your lines, you never know, today, who's got more than fishing lines in their boat. I've been in both situations as a boater and you, shore fishing. Getting tangled happens but for cripes sake the boaters should at least have the decency to acknowledge hooking into your rigs, stop, untangle and maybe even apologize before continuing on. Now we know even tempered Tom can get excited just like the rest of us.

When I've fished from any boat I've owned, the one thing I've always enjoyed is knowing I can go absolutely anywhere to fish, but more importantly, know that bank anglers have less options. Showing respect for other anglers is something that is sadly lost on some fools with a rod in their hands. Seeing the type of behaviour you showed here is painful to watch. Cheers from Australia

@JC-gd3cc 11 дней назад

Why is it that some guys will take a boat to a large lake just to fish next to the shore where other people are fishing. How many of you have parked your car far out in a parking lot to avoid getting your doors scratched only to return and find there are cars parked all around yours, despite the fact that there are dozens of other parking spots they could have parked. Another one we find interesting is going to a movie theater and sitting in a far corner to avoid rowdy children and parents who don't care. When they come into the theater they immediately spot you and your wife way back in a corner and here they come with 4-5 kids and sit right next to you, despite the fact that there are dozens of other unoccupied seats in the theater.

@CaribbeanMischief 2 дня назад

The parking lot one gets me every time. I like to park far away because I like to walk and also don't want anyone parking near me (for obvious reasons). Some idiot always thinks my car is great to park next to when there's literally 350 other spots that are closer to the store Or how about the people who brush up against you or breathe on your neck while waiting to pay for groceries

@ashleylaurin6531 Месяц назад

Being a bank fisherman for many years ( in the 70’s), I totally understand your frustration. Then, I became a boat owner, also enjoyed trolling along the shorelines, but I always kept a safety distance whenever there were people fishing from shore. Those two guys did that to you twice, you have all the reason to be mad, I admire your mild reactions, in my younger days, I would probably have thrown stones at them.

Something similar happened to me two weeks ago. Lost 2 lines because an idiot on a jet-ski tangled one of em' and the other one got tangled to a motor boat. And they didn't care. Had to cut both of them off because I didn't want my rod to break or get pulled deeper into the ocean. Hate people who don't respect surf fishers.

@@andrewczski1969 It's easy. Most of my fishing poles have 90 lb braid and are 7 to 9 foot heavy action. If someone starts doing like those idiots I reel in my poles and keep what I drag out of their boat then I close the gap on a spark plug and cut the rig off one of my poles and tie on the spark plug at the threaded end. This leaves the pointed end able to hit their boat. When it's all ready I take aim and let it fly right into the side of their boat (I cast it like a sinker). Most times I can jerk it back out and throw multiple times. The spark plugs I use are the large ones.

Man, you are much calmer than I was years ago. My wife and I were on our vacation fishing off the rocks much like you. Our lines were probably 40 feet out from shore. And a couple guys in a boat real nice jet boat came by not more than 10 yards from the shore ended up snagging both of our lines while the others that were trolling would just swing wide bit no problems there and we fish there all day and finally about 5 o’clock in the evening caught one. I found myself having to read, resist the urge to cast the lines back out a little bit further when I knew they would be coming around again same distance. I couldn’t resist that temptation so one was definitely my fault for making sure that would happen For a third or fourth time. When we got back to the fish cleaning station, there were a couple guys that were trolling by and they would give us a wider berth. They took one of their fish out of their cooler and gave to us because they saw us working so hard, all day long trying to catch the one.
