NO NO NO.... this is bad advice. Very incomplete advice to tell a new shrimper. This is where NOT to set up.... to NOT setup in front of the commercial guys!!! I read this somewhere, I really hope this person meant far far away from them, and not just in front of them like it reads. DO NOT ANCHOR UP IN FRONT OF A COMMERCIAL BOAT OR ANY OTHER BOAT FOR THAT MATTER. If you do, you are asking for a game of leap frog, and anger and rage..... I've been there, done it and seen it..... these commercial guys have been out there all year, in wing nets when allowed, in regular boats when the wingnets are not allowed with just a boxnet and dipnet like us "sporties". There are about 9 or 10 regular guys in the area that do it winter, spring, summer and fall.... it's their living. Let's remember, that. WE are having fun and just trying to fill a bucket. (except for the few here that do bait n sell bait that hold special licenses). Don't cut them off or anyone else for that matter by anchoring in their stream of shrimp ..... and yes, a stream can go quite a ways in front of them.....and behind them. I'd like a front sticker that says..... if your above my anchor your too close! LOL or .... if I can hear you fart you are too close......

I recall hearing for days and weeks about a game of leapfrog from a few of them, and the stream of shrimp involved... it was entertaining for weeks afterwards and quite a story... but not one we really like to hear about or be IN. Oh yeah... my friends... I see them noticing more boats of "sporties" aka... us out there in their posts on FB and so forth...so I just wanted to remind everyone to be considerate this year :) And yes, I admit, I myself get very irked when it happens to me, tempers flare... it's not a good thing. So.... I thought I'd throw it out on the table at the start of the season as our engines get warmed up and our gear dusted off and our batteries charged up ....

To be considered a shrimper you have to be able to find YOUR OWN stream of shrimp. IF you cannot do that, then you have not made it to the level of a shrimper.You are considered a novice. Nothing wrong with that, it just means you NEED to spend MORE time on the water learning how to shrimp. But don't jeopardize yourself, equipment and passengers by cutting someone off in the water. You are only asking for trouble. I hope everyone has a GREAT season this year but be SAFE and be COURTEOUS!!!!!!!!

But, one time last year we were anchored at RB and a pontoon boat kept pulling up almost next to me and trying to anchor only to be pulled off by the current time and again for over an hour. It was a learning experience for me that not everyone is courteous. Also, had a boat full of drinkers and loud country music pull up in front of us. Since I didn't have my RPG launcher with me, we decided to move to where we could enjoy the "outdoors". Just take a deep breath, take their picture, smile and wave to them, and post the picture here. You know, kinda like a badge of "dis"-honor. << There Is a Reason >>

There have been many nights that the river is crowded and you don't have a choice to anchor a distance out in front of them.I try to give at least 1-2 hundred feet so as not to mes with them.

Sea Worthy Posts: 11 01/18/12 06:20 PM	Common courtesy.. Its a big river. One night I was anchored up for about an hour when this guy and about three people in a hurricane deck boat decided to anchor about 20 feet in front of me. He threw the front anchor while his wife drove. He then decided to throw the back anchor that didnt catch. His boat than swung around and crashed into the side of my boat... Took all i had not to lose it. The worst part was instead of saying sorry he was busy yelling at his wife for her driving... Bad part was I was the only one on the water. Takes all kinds.......... Have fun on the water
