What's wrong with people

[wwm12]

Out this morning to try and find some bass. Made our run down south from AH. Set out the trolling rigs like everyone else and go about our business. Next thing ya know, here comes a sportfishermen going hell bent to the north THROUGH the group! Not even throttle back...

I just want to know if it's me or do more of the NJFISHING members see a change in the way people act?

Nothing new here this unwarranted boat behavior has been going on since I've been on the ocean many many moons!
It may be getting more dangerous since the speed of some of these rigs in the hands of inept operators creates danger for all.
Defensive boating ur best bet !

For the most part I hate people. There is no respect or self responsibility any more

I feel your pain, I have even had guys try to knock me off my anchor for no reason except they couldn't maneuver there vessel properly. If all of us do the right thing hopefully we can decrease that from happening. Be safe and always be prepared to get out of the way.

Bad drivers in general are more prevalent today and that goes for boating as well... ever seen Lake Hopatcong on summer weekends?

If you fished from a kayak you'd hate even more people.

Saddest part is that probably most of them do not think they are doing anything wrong!

they know they just don't care.its all about them

There is always one... we even have one down in Barnegat. I think everyone has cursed this guy Tom out who lives down there. I watched him once drive full steam right past a small 16ft with 2 kids in the boat and almost swamp them. Some people have even visited his dock and threaten him and things still haven't changed. Like someone else said, its all about them. If you plan to fish this weekend, be careful out there!
