    Theres definitely plenty of issues out there and ive seen most of them. Just yesterday I had a charter come out and set up on our port side. No biggy right. Wrong!!! He proceeds to set down and angle his boat right at us. I thought for sure he'd turn, but he kept coming and coming and coming. I called on the radio, gave and gave and gave and eventually turned about 90* to keep him out of my core lines. Now mind you, im the only boat in this area and i had allot of room to move to the west, but thats not the p0point. The fact of the matter is, i was already trolling when he arrived and began setting lines. To me, he should have parallelled me, not muscle me out like that. He could have just as easily eased to the east and parallelled me. It was total B.S. And this from a very well known CHARTER out of Ludington. I wont name names, but if he does it again he might have a 21' boat pulling on his copper and divers! Theres NO reason for that crap. Just because he charters and is out every day doesnt give him the right to go whereever he wants out there with no consideration for others. They have to be curteous too. I deviated from my course allot, even though i was right, i think he should have done the same.

    There are a couple of charter boats out of Muskegon that are this way. One almost put me into the nets. I know who they are, and may just end up with some extra tackle one of these days on the lake. ;)
