It is definitely not just you. I was out by SP light and a boat was fishing about 50 - 100 feet away, a large, approx 40', cruiser came down the bay swerved to just miss him and then swerved to just miss me, going in between us. I could have jumped onto his boat he was so close. We were way out of the channel. This is why I go out early and come in by noon on the weekend if I go out at all. All the sailboats and cruisers start to come out about then and you are in their way.

So true about the weekends....I try to spend at least the evenings out during the week, whenever I can....
Just a shame that with all that space out there boats are still just missing folks that are out there fishing....

Right. This is not just a "speed boat type" problem. There are boaters of all shapes and sizes that don't give proper space. How many times has everyone been buzzed by the big cruisers that come within 20' feet of you, throwing the 4' wake?

What amazes me is when you run 65 miles offshore, thinking you are getting away from everyone. You get to the tip of the canyon and everyone is right on top of each other running over other people's lines. Everybody wants the same piece of water, I guess.

all good instances where a 3oz drop sinker would have come in handy. Add a wrist-rocket to the mix and boats should stay a good 100' away from me! Just got to lead 'em enough w/ your shot.

I don't care if a boat is fishing in or near the channel. When I am running, I slow down until I pass the fishing boat and then get back on plane. I don't want to be responsible for knocking some one into the water from my wake. I have been fishing by the Rt. 90 bridge in O.C. and had 40' boats blow by me at 20 feet. Some people just don't care!...........Gary

Agree 100%, wish everyone else, INCLUDING other fishermen felt this way. Glad someone has some courtesy out there

Agreed...I do the same...I like to get to the next place as fast as anyone, but I at least have the common courtesy to slow down for folks...

If you think the Bay is tight try Deep Creek Lake or Lake Anna on a weekend. THAT will freak you out.
