Always gotta be that one guy...

 

Good morning my friends,

It is early in the morning here in north central Alabama. The rain coming down along with the threat of more rain to come has messed up my fishing and video shooting today, so I thought a blog was in order. Today’s topic will be dealing with some stuff I saw out on the water yesterday.

 

My day was spent on the Flint Creek as I looked for productive water to fish an upcoming tournament in a few weeks. After a few hours I made my way back closer to the boat ramp. There I fished around close for a bit waiting on a couple of boats to take out. Just down from the boat ramp was a family fishing and having a good time and just up from the ramp was a single man fishing and also having an enjoyable time. Being outdoors kinda does that to ya.

 

Like I said I was fishing close, getting ready to take my Kayak out of the water, ”but having to make that one last cast,” before leaving. When the first of the bigger boats came by to take out. He was an older gentleman in a big nice bass boat. When he approached, he idled down and very politely eased past everyone fishing and made his way to the ramp. He smiled and waved as he passed by.

 

As the first man was loading up a second boat came idling up into view around the bend in the creek. It was almost as if on cue when he saw people fishing he gunned his boat and didn’t let off until he was almost at the ramp. Having presence of mind to quickly turn my little boat into his wave kept me from being turned over. The guy fishing closest to me on the bank had to back up to keep from getting his shoes soaked. The guy knew exactly what he was doing. You could tell by his body language he was being rude and didn’t care who knew it. Maybe he was born with a little man part, maybe his wife called him off the water go pick up milk and bread, or he might have just dropped his Zebco 202 in the water. Whatever the problem was his actions were uncalled for.

 

Just remember when out on the water, be like the first guy. Politeness and courtesy will get you much further in life. If you choose to be like the second guy someone will eventually steal your boat plug.
