Idiots?!
I too ran into this problem over the weekend. We were trolling around rattlesnake and a boater pulls into the area starts trolling towards me and starts yelling at me about being right of him and I should divert away. The bigger problem was I was moving away but he kept coming closer and closer and I was heading towards the rocks. Finally I exchanged a little pleasant conversation with him and he moved to his right and everything went back to normal. The problem I see is everyone on the water feels they have the right of way. No one is willing to show the slightest amount of courtesy-like it's a sign of weakness or they are giving up "their rights to the water". It seems to me that those who have bigger boats feel they have the right of way like its a trucker mentality or something. Anyways, I will be fishing more on the week days and stay home weekends. I'll save my sanity this way.
