Fished Wateree yesterday from 6:30-3:00. I did ok, caught a few on a crankbait. Couldn't keep the damn white perch off. Must have caught 30 of the buggers.
Went over to a hazard area marked by bouys. Started out deeper at 15ft and was heading towards the marker. Here comes this guy in a White and red Ranger. Motored right past me no more than 30 yrds! yes I said 30yrds and proceeds to stop right near the bouy, no more than 2 cast lengths away. To say I was mad is an understatement. That was just wrong on his part. I dropped a few casts right near the back of the boat, and the kid that was fishing with him I think knew I was pretty ticked off! In fact I'm getting mad just typing this.
Maybe some of you might know this guy. Had a blue shirt and a grey hat, grey hair. Was fishing with a young guy who wore a black windbreaker.
Then he proceeded to put on a show catching 4 bass in about 10 min. Hey, good for you buddy.
I try to give a wide berth to people. I don't pull 100yrds ahead of someone if I see them working a shoreline and don't pull up next to them on a point.
Maybe that's just normal for SC? If I was fishing the T I would have put in a complaint with the T director.
