Default Re: Trolling Etiquette

People do that intentionally, play dumb trying to exploit your slick. They will NEVER answer on 16, or just play dumb when they do.

It's gamesmanship. Most boaters are clueless idiots and no one matter but them.

Posting thing on this site will get you nothing but agreement.

I fact they may go after you if everyone is anchored and you (albeit there first) drifted ( the best way to cover a spot anyway). I was anchored once sharking on some idiot passed within 50 feet of my gunwale adrift. I felt like doing a horizontally fired pyrotechnic operablility test to light up the dumb bas*ard.

It will happen and happen and happen.
