Front seat or back

You must be new. Tune in or check his old posts. You will have to use his
half-dozen screen names just to go back a year.

I've been around here since July of last year. Never seen this guy post
profanity, spam a product, or write personal messages that would be
better suited to email, which are as off-topic as anything he writes. He
shops at Wal-Mart...big deal, who doesn't on occasion? Plus, the
complaining about his posts takes up far more bandwidth than he does.

So, again...how is this post troll-like?

I have heard some real horror stories of a person being 'back-boated'. However, I have NEVER been 'back-boated' having been fortunate enough to have been paired up with really good people.

Being back boated deliberately is not really an issue. I have not fished with soembody who has doen it deliberately, but i can tell you that it happens. Usually due to difficult boat handling conditions. Flipping a bank with a lot of heavy baot traffice is difficult. Sometimes its easier to drag the boat along right against the brush and flip ahead of the boat. The back boater is rarely ina good position to flipt he cover. If the front boater is conscientious they will invite the back boater up to the front deck in these conditions.

A couple months ago a friend of mine drew a local female angler as his boater. He complained bitterly about her back boating him afterwards It created some negative tension in the local club community. I took him fishing shortly afterwards in an open team tournament, and I let him run the trolling motor for a while in windy conditions. I kicked back and waited until he was having trouble positioning the boat then I started complaining about him back boating me. LOL. I think he got the point.

I don't think he has apologised to the other angler, but I doubt he will be so vocal without atleast thinking about it in the future.

I have had it happen deliberately on many occasions,, but that is what I
tell them to do, I want them to work the fish first, and catch what they
can, I'll fish for what's left, or for the fish they just caught, of
course there is never any "money" on the line like in a tournament,,
well sometimes some money is side bet,, but all in fun.

I let them work an area first, and I follow up.

Without me doing this, I can't directly compare their fishing rigs
and/or techniques to mine. It has proven to be the best way to test
fishing techniques on the same fish, at the same time. It's not good
enough (to me) for my rigs to work, they must work better than others,
at least the major majority of the time. If I come up with something
that is "just as good" as another product, I don't pursue it,, just
being different is not enough.

Of course there are some days where nothing works, or almost doesn't
work, and I need to know that other rigs are failing at the same time,
that my successes,, even when they are few are still better than other
techniques under the same conditions.

Just taking a rig out, and having a good day, proves absolutely nothing,
neither does taking it out and having a bad day
