Sharing The Rail

[Liteliner]

Man I was annoyed quite a bit this past sunday on the boat. How does a guy sporting an 8ft custom rod equipped with a torsa not know how to share the rail? This guy didnt wanna lose his freakin corner spot and decides to get four of us into a tangle. I should have broken out the spectra. Even the newbs worked it better than this one dude on the boat. He thought he owned the corner. How hard could it be.

1. Follow your line.
2. Fish with the wind in your face.
3. Yell hookup!
4. Yell over.
5. Yell under.

Help me add to this. What other fishing etiquette should you know about sharing the rail to make everybodies trip more successful. Im gonna print this out and stamp it on that dudes forehead if I ever run into that loud mouth again.

NO ANGLES....NO TANGLES!!!!!!!

Sorry for yelling.

:lol: Thats a good one.

Wind up if another angler is bringing there fish to the boat, meaning get out of the way.
just re-cast real quick.

I would've just broke out the spectra. No point trying to work with him if he's not willing to work with everyone else.

That sucks man. It seems there is always some one that does that. One way to reduce the odds of that happening is to fishing on charters. That was one of the big reasons I started fishing limited load trips and 6-packs.

I have been on trips like that with a "corner hog". Here's what I have done: I go to the bait tank, pin on a fresh bait, walk straight to "his" corner and cast over him a few times, that "guy" usually gets the idea and backs off a little. If that doesn't work I will say something to him.

Guy probably has the the mentality of.

I'm gods give to the world. Because I fish with a Torsa.

I also drive a BMW/Mercedes
So I own the Fwys. So get out of my way.

Also... My poop does not stink.
Yet..... My nose is so high in the air all the time.
I can not confirm this :dogpiss:

Hard to work with a clown like that.
I like the casting over his head idea. Preferably with a dripping messy bait.
Cutting him off with spectra would be plan B.
I would think he would leave the corner to retie :rolleyes:

All my trips are solo on my pvt boat.
Share the stern with another angler :shock:
I really need my 8' of stern space :rofl:

i think people are color blind because they dont know how to rotate!! olmoast got in few fights because of this. also i keep my dikes handy just in case someone is acting like an a-hole, i just snip-em off lol. bye bye yellow tail.

sounds like a 1/2 day boat.

I think that is the job of the captain and if he doesn't want to set the rules then look for another boat.
