OK now I am bit heated after seeing these pics on the record bee in lakeport. These pics were takin yesterday in Kelsey Creek during the FLW Everstart tournie. This kickboater is exactly the type of person none of the clubs need to be envloved with. These guys fishing the FLW are fishing for some serious money and this guy could care less and just sits in the middle of them. Here is a link with pics you can enlarge. Who is this guy?

Where's that link John?

You're right, these guys are out there 'working'! Even if he was on the spot 1st, he should have offered to move over and let them earn a paycheck. The only reason I could justify sitting there, is if they were being complete jerks, instead of just asking him to give them a little room?

Link added.

Actually looks like he is buzzing through those guys with his trolling motor but is not fishing (his fins are kicked up). Do we know someone with a VV and a trolling motor who's up at Clear?

even if he was just a spectator, he should of gave them alot more room than that....Geees, just when we are getting some positive feed back on our sport this comes along.....COME ON PEOPLE!

Hey Larry is that you?
:P I thought you told me you were gonna try and get up there and fish this week. If so, I hope you at least passed on some of my craws to those guys :+

This shows a complete lack of respect for these guys who are trying to earn a living at this sport. Not to mention it is just plain unethical to encroach. I'm surprised he didn't find a big swim bait with some real sharp 2/0 trebles stuck in one of his pontoons.

Let's just say I'm unhappy, nuff said. x( x( x( x( x( x( x(

That spot looks fimiliar,where is it?Around rattlesnake?

I just left a message with the photo editor to see if we could get high res copies of those. If I get them I will forward them to John.

The only excuse this guy could possibly have is if he were on his way back to the ramp right when the camera guy was there and the pic was takin. Granted the chances of that guy being there at the same time as he pass's through is slim, I should give him the benefit of the doubt. Either way there has always been the thing about how kickboaters dont respect the boaters and vise versa, anyone looking at these pics will think the same as I did in my orginal post. No matter how I look at it it isnt good at all.

I'm confused. How exactly does this work? A public lake-right? Everybody gets to fish there-right? I'm a newbie. I just figured I have to share the lake with everybody. I'd much rather see this than all the TRASH that gets left along the shoreline for us to pick up, but I don't hear much, or see much done about that! Last time I went out in my tube I talked to a couple of guys fishing from the shore just as I was launching, seemed like nice guys. When I came in I had to clean up their pile of trash and there wad of line they left behind :( This sort of thing happens just about every time I go out.
