Location: 10,000 Lakes | Past few days I've seen and heard stuff in the boat while ski fishing that just shouldnt happen. Such as yelling that you have a follow and beating the water with your lure to get the weeds off, just wondering if anyone else has some stuff to share on this topic.

Location: north metro, MN | just the other day out on the lake a buddy of mine who has only managed to get out a few times this year had a decent follow, i saw the fish and he yells "ahhhh muskie" and fish turns hard and leaves. next cast he leaves the bail shut and tries to bomb the cast and the rod drops into the water... unreal |

Thats said offten by people who do not fish, or primarly fish for easier species other than musky when in my boat... That kills confidence, and puts pressure to either stop fishing or change from the plan

Location: Illinois | Hate fishing with a guy who has a negative attitude. "Too hot", "Too flat", "Too pressured", "Not gonna happen". Just getting out on the water is a gift for all of us. Being whiny doesn't help the fishing or the day. I spent 3 days trying to console a guy in my boat. Admittedly, the fishing was slow as the temp had dropped. He complained about how much the lake sucks for 3 days and banged 2 upper 40's the last night.Now he is pulling his boat out on another trip to the area just to fish this lake. It is okay in my book to be realistic about a tough bite, but constant whining really makes me want to fish alone. |

Working in the kitchen can be overwhelming and depressing for some women, even more so if they don't cook all that well. I'd say tell her to take a break and get some mowing and yard work done to boost her spirits. Just make sure she gets a pizza ordered before you get home from fishing, especially if she's going to be out there working all day.

Location: Elk River,MN | Not to do: Tell someone that fishes 1-2 times per year from a dock, paddle boat, or from a pontoon how muskie fishing has been. They don't understand it, they think you are a loser when you say "Today went good, had 2 follows." Then they proceed to tell you how they caught all TYPES of fish when they were kids with just marshmellows and corn. "Why are you having such a problem catching these muskies?!?! Maybe you should think about fishing with corn and actually catching something for a change!" It makes you hate that person because they dont understand and you start to get defensive and then they think they are REALLY right. (This jackass in-law of mine the same weekend I caught a 49.5 and a 50.5 said, "Well it's about time...telling me you had follows isn't much!) Just always say you caught some fish because you can't argue with stupid.
Not to Say:
"Can we troll"
"Should I bring some cheese/crackers and some beer on our trip?"
(Fish On) "How does the net handle work again?" |

| "It's not hooked well"
Watched a 46.5" eat my phantom opening morning and this is the first words my buddy in the boat says. Granted he was right and just trying to help me out but at the time it was the absolute last thing i wanted to hear. I almost stopped bringing the fish in just to punch him.
"OO OO OO"
This is the noise he makes every time he sees a fish... he also started making it whenever a deer fly was biting him on our trip to LOTW. Lets just say we had a real excited boat over a few deer flies.

| What NOT to do is pass litter when you have an opportunity to pick it up, starting at the landing if you're waiting for access. Grab every floating beer can and even $hit you see on the bottom in shallow water - if you can reach it with anything (net) then get it out of the lake.
This may grant you the favor of the Lady of the Lake. But maybe not. Ignore trash and pay the price of the DISfavor of the spirits.

Ditto. Twice until I found one that LIKES muskies. Oh, she likes me too, and that could be the difference. The other two? Not so much.
Don't tell me what body parts hurt or itch. Ain't going to do anything about either and don't want to hear it. Don't ask me when we are going to move. I have no idea, and it makes me cross to have to think about it. Don't tell me about your lady friend, wife, or other recent conquest. I'm trying to frigging fish, and my mind can't handle both subjects without a meltdown. Stay the hell off the phone. Texting....really? I'll give you a shot to Facebook...it'll crash the website. I don't know why they are, are not, or might,maybe,if will hit. Neither do you. Ask the fish if you want to know, and all of us in the boat will listen for them to answer. Don't scream F bombs on the water when it's calm out, your voice will travel and folks on shore may think it's me who's the foul mouthed fool. I'm already a fool, don't need the extra baggage. If your significant other is in the boat, don't even ask, the answer needs to be no.
Seriously.
I mostly don't say much unless someone fishing with me wants to talk business.If I hook up, I just say, "There's one" and quietly play the fish to the net. Try that instead of freaking out and crashing around the boat stepping on my rods.

I hate when someone tries to give advice on how to run the boat when they have no idea. I also really hate when people call a muskie a skie. I realize its a very popular saying but it sounds so dumb and its really not hard to say the whole thing. Ya catching any skies lately? See............. |

I politely pointed him to my bass tackle/rods and said have at er. I wasnt going to let his attitude ruin it for me.
He ended up seeing his first musky (following my lure), BOY would I have been peeed if he would have caught one on those #*^@ bass lures!!! LOL |

x 2 . I hate that. MU....it takes like what...an extra .001 second to put the MU in front of "skie". Drrrr.
This isn't in the boat - but it's related...
I just flat out hate talking about muskies with anyone that doesn't fish for them.
Co-worker was looking at a fish pic of mine on my desk one day....she says "that has to be photoshopped, no way someone could reel in a fish that big".......I didn't even know what to say.
I made the mention of "moon phases" to a non muskie person - that was not a good idea.

He has been left behind until I can return after fishing a spot or two
Yelling "Fish On" usually speeds up the process as I caught a 42" once while he was in the outhouse 100 yards away:) |

Buddy: I got a hook in my a$$.
Me: what?
Buddy: you heard me a hook in my a$$
Me: pull it out
Buddy: NO! Its really in there deep I can't move
I walked across the boat and looked it didn't even make it through the pant leg I just laughed and went back to my side of the boat. He cried a little more before realizing he wasnt hooked. |

When you tell your boat partner that you are moving to a new spot, and the trolling motor is up and they just have to take that one last cast.

Don't cast right on top of my lure, at any point of the retrieve. I'm not a counselor, so complaining about your wife/girlfriend to me only brings me down.

Ha, Im at right there w/ ya on all of this. I got to the point of secretly turning off my brothers cell cuz if he gets that call from the girlfriend, we're done fishing. I will tell one of my buddies several times that we are leaving a spot... Got the trolling motor up, sit down and wait a sec, then fire up the engine. The kid tweaks out every time I start her up..."

Location: Maple Grove, MN | Another thing is when people catch a fish and then spend the rest of the outing texting everyone they knew about it. Had a guy catch a 44 and then spend all evening texting everyone he knew. How about keep fishing and tell them later?
I had another guy that was always cutting the outings short. We'd be 7 miles out and have fish going and suddenly he'd say he needed to go home early.
I don't fish with either of those guys any more.

| Taking someone out for the first time, after I've told them about musky gear, that they'd be using mine, what to expect, and the reasons why I use the equipment that I do:
Them - I'll just use my bass rig with 6 lb. Stren mono and loosen my drag as I can't use this big rod/reel...it's in my truck, I'll go get it.
I just shake my head, laugh, and say, you're going to have to trust me on this one...I am sure guides have heard this 10000 times.

Location: Maple Grove, MN | Maniac, We're all talking about things that make fishing less fun. If you don't like what we're saying, don't read the thread.
Fishing is like golf in that it isn't fun to golf with someone who doesn't take it even a little bit seriously. Ever golf with someone who can't even hit the ball square because they never go to the range?
Back to the subject. Above anything, I cannot stand complainers in a boat. I mean those people that are never, ever happy. They can only be happy if they catch a really big Muskie right away - which we all know rarely happens. They are unhappy if they don't catch a Muskie or if it isn't big enough.
As an example: I once took a guy out on an after-work outing who, after only a few minutes of casting, hooked a low-50 inch Muskie. But he gave the fish slack and lost it before I could net it. I thought he'd be excited, but all I heard was complaint, complaint, complaint. The fishing sucked, my boat sucked and my equipment sucked. Never mind that he refused to listen to a thing I said. Twenty minutes later he hooked a fat 47 incher and even though he tried to pull the fish completely out of the water like a crappie, I managed to get it in the net before it got off. It was by far the largest fish he had ever caught. Thought he'd shut up then, but he still wasn't happy. Just more complaints because he felt it was my fault that he had lost the larger fish earlier and I was lucky to even get the second fish netted for him. If only I had a better boat or better lures or better equipment or had a clue as to what I was doing, then he would have caught the larger fish too. That was enough for me. I took him back to the landing, told him to get out, and never spoke to him again.
I can't stand people like that.

Like I said, you can't fish angry...just like in golf, it will take you out of your game.
Letting someone else ruin YOUR fun is YOUR fault. How I react to people and how I let them effect me is totally my decision, so saying someone ruined you day is bull.....you let them ruin your day. |

Location: Maple Grove, MN | Maniac,
Yeah, there is a difference between taking action and just being angry and letting it ruin your time on the water. I usually talk to difficult people first to give them an opportunity to change what they are doing, but if they don't and it bothers me enough, then I just don't fish with them anymore. And then there is a big difference between a minor irritation and something that ruins your time on the water.
I must admit that I am fortunate to have fished with some really nice people over the years. In fact, most of the people I have fished with have been great. For instance, Captain is a great guy to fish with. Only problem is he usually outfishes me. Hmmmm.

Or we should just not.....and just have our opinion that it sounds retarded, how about that? Nobody said anything about going out and "admonishing" anyone for doing so. To me it sounds dumb, plain and simple, didn't say anyone had to change now did we. How about it's just another internet thread with a bunch of guys just having fun......enough said. |

The discussion (the beers probably helped) somehow gets to "really, really" having to go #2 during a fishing event and the limitation on what and where is allowed. So, this one angler, (I won't tell unless you make me) begins to describe, in incredible detail, just how similar the round opening in his forward baitwell is to a toilet seat (you know, the one where walleye guys put their minnows) and how you can be sitting right there doing your thing, right in the middle of a hundred boats waiting for an ease-out and nobody is going to notice. Then he says you can just keep the pump running and eventually the thing will get cleaned out. But, then we all had to leave because it was time to go to DINNER???? Marty Forman |

Location: Minnesota Metro | I have to go with complaining in the boat. The one that gets me is when every few minutes I hear a huge sigh from the back of the boat. On that same note my oldest brother was complaining to my other older brother and myself about not catching any fish during our trip to Canada(his first one) a few weeks ago. This was on day 2 and he had just filled a 5 gallon bucket full of yellow perch. We told him where to go to catch smallmouth, but he said he didn't want to catch bass he wanted to catch walleye. Just so happens that earlier that evening my brother and I were muskie fishing and had dozens of walleye following and swiping at our lures in a narrows. We told him to go fish it, but he didn't want to boat the 20 minutes to the spot because there was "only" three hours of daylight left. So here he was complaining in the cabin about not catching any walleye mere hours after we told him where to go because they were aggressive and stacked in an area. I'm sure we both had Kodak moment looks on our face. |

| I do know of one guy some years age who did use the minnow bucket, but was in such a panicked hurry he forgot to remove the minnows first. Still has us crying in laughter every time its brought up. |

| When someone walks up to my boatat the boat launch and ask me what I'm fishing for. They can't miss the big net on the boat, and when I tell them musky the say there musky in this lake? Every sail boat that wants to sail around or close to boat when I'm casting. If you drove a fishing boat up on to another fishing boat I hope you know them, or you will have a new nickname. |

| I hate it when this happens.

coworker: that isn't even big enough to keep.

| I hate when people think they have to say "c'mon musky" while their having a slow musky fishing day or trying to entice some musky's to bite/follow. Those little comments most always puts a huge jinx on the day. I also can't stand it when an hour or two on the musky hunt and someone says, "well there just not going to bite today what-a going to do" and they have this negative attitude for the rest of the trip. |

Is that the same as when I get angry and start cussing and threatening the fish or is that acceptable?

| While fishing Mille Lacs a few years ago my brother-in-law had to go #2 while in the middle of big bite window (we put 5 in the boat) in the middle of the night. I said just go over the side. So he did. The next morning when I was walking past the boat I was a TERD right on the R of Ranger on my boat!!!!!!! He wiped it off kind of and said the rain on the way back to SE WI would clean the rest it off. We got home there was still a streak on the "R" and he never cleaned it off! It remained there until the following spring when I had the boat detailed because I was not going to clean up another man's poop! My boat is now called "The Toilet".
If you POO on anther guys boat CLEAN IT OFF! |

Entertaining thread. Those that are bothered by calling them 'skis should get in touch with Al Lindner and admonish him for doing so (in the old infisherman videos). Or if Al calls,at least refuse his offer to jump in the boat and throw a few casts. On the other hand I always got the feeling he thinks we're an opinionated pain...ya think?! The infishermen guys always look for some buzzword to catch on. I mean, they cant even call a spinnerbait a flippin spinnerbait. Its a "safety pin spinner".
Next time I am in Thornes I will be sure to ask where they stock the safety pin spinners. |

| Fair enough, Captain. But I think most of there stuff is/was aimed at the less initiated in the sport. Seemed to me as if they were trying to be more descriptive in distiquishing it from a bucktail. But maybe they were just trying to be cute about it as you suggest. I guess I for one don't so much care what terms are used for our fish or our lures as long as I can tell what is being talked about. |

--Yes it is. |

Location: Ludington, MI | The solution to going no. 2 is a Wal-Mart bag over the baitwell. Sit on it and hold both handles of the bag. Then tie it off and hide it somewhere deep in the boat.
Ran into this five miles out in Lake Michigan with a friend and his sons. My son, then probably 6, said he had to go and couldn't hold it. So that was the solution. |

Why even bother saying the other letters? I think I might just start calling them "Mmm" and see if it catches on. I actually prefer to communicate in grunts so this might work well for me.

What NOT to do is pass litter when you have an opportunity to pick it up, starting at the landing if you're waiting for access. Grab every floating beer can and even $hit you see on the bottom in shallow water - if you can reach it with anything (net) then get it out of the lake.
This may grant you the favor of the Lady of the Lake. But maybe not. Ignore trash and pay the price of the DISfavor of the spirits.
PS - She hates muskies? Take away her credit card, start storing your gear at a buddy's place and otherwise prepare for a divorce.
Picked up a floating beer can this June, next cast a 47". I now go out of my way looking for floating trash. haha |

| Hate when theres a guy and he throws a temper tantrom in the boat after losing a fish. F-bombs, smashing his bait against the water so the hole lake can hear. Just shut it and pout in the back of the boat. I know losing fish sucks but thats the way it go's somtimes just suck it up and keep casting. |

Location: Ohio | beavergrad - 7/26/2011 4:48 PM Not to do: Tell someone that fishes 1-2 times per year from a dock, paddle boat, or from a pontoon how muskie fishing has been. They don't understand it, they think you are a loser when you say "Today went good, had 2 follows." "Well it's about time...telling me you had follows isn't much!) Just always say you caught some fish because you can't argue with stupid. Not to Say: "Can we troll" "Should I bring some cheese/crackers and some beer on our trip?" (Fish On) "How does the net handle work again?" I come home and the Wife or neighbor asks if we had any success I am smiling and say "Oh yeh, we had 2 rips" they all know what a rip is and then they ask why am I happy about that because it isnt the same as boating a fish I usually just say "yhe, you're right" and walk off
