| With a new season approaching (Thank you Lord!) lets talk about things that are truly
important.
ETIQUETTE
1: Always tip your hat or say hello to the next fishermen.
Why? You know what i'm talking about! Ever get that look from the other boat at the launch like your on there private lake. Just go out and have fun! I'm seeing a trend where some people act like there fishing the WMC (World Musky Championship)
2: Keep your distance
Why? I feel your OK to follow a boat but never cut in front!! And if you can see what bait their throwing your following to close. If it's a small reef stay away!
3: Load & Unload
Why? Time is against all of us but be respectful at the ramp. There's nothing better than to see someone helping out the next person. Just asking if you need help goes MILES but keep it MOVING! Then again theirs nothing worse than to watch someone unpack there boat and load there vehicle while there still in the ramp area blocking others.
4: What have i missed?
Have a great season everyone!
FISH ON!

| If you are a boat slut at least offer the guy taking you out something. Gas money, a beer, a burger... I personally won't accept it because I'd be out anyway but it's nice to know you aren't intentionally taking advantage of a guy and his equipment.
A related point about that first one...if you hop in someone else's boat and don't offer anything to the owner, don't turn around and turn into a whiny little spoiled brat when someone hops into your boat and doesn't offer anything to ride along with you. That's being a hypocrite. It's annoying and people talk about this type of thing. Do it enough and no one will offer a spot in their boat for you anymore.
Don't cut your boat partner off. If the two of you are easing up onto a point or a reef there is no need to get competitive and shotgun as many casts in front of the guy on the trolling motor or vice versa just so you can get your bait on that water first. You are destroying an efficient and effective approach to a piece of structure.
If you see a buddy on the water and you notice that three guys in that boat all are figure 8ing at boat side, making short casts back to nearby spots you can pretty much guarantee that they have a fish up. This is not the time to come barreling in and pull up along side them and ask; "Have you guys seen anything?" |

2) Be nice
3) Share info
4) See #1 |

If you are in a larger boat like a 20ft Ranger, Don't come barraling in a the guy in a little boat (me) and try to push us off of a spot. Just because you own the nicer and better boat, does not mean you own the lake.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Remember sounds travels over the water. Apply accordingly.
Get out of the way after pulling your boat out of the water, and don't back down until you are ready to launch
Not everyone is a muskie angler. Let's not convince the rest of the entire freshwater fishing world it's an unattractive attribute.
Remember... when the dust all settles it's just a fish. Apply accordingly.
If you see me, offer to buy me a beer. I'm deserving. I have no clue why. In fact, most of the time, I have no clue. That is why I fish muskies. |

Location: Northern New Jersey | most of the time a simple acknowledgement is enough for me. the cliche "any luck" or "beautiful weather" are fine. i don't even care if i know youre lying about what you tell me, just do not be rude about it. was launching the other day with my buddy and i noticed a guy at the dock by himself trying to launch. we got my buddies boat ready to go, and headed down to the dock (as we always do to check the water level to see if we can launch), and i noticed the guy was struggling. i offered up a hello and got a grunt in return. i offered to grab his dock line if he threw it to me on the dock, and he gave me a death stare. said good luck to him as he was leaving the dock and he didn't say a word in return. well his bitterness probably escalated when i boated a fish before we left dockside and he saw us elated about it. it seems as if some people go out of their way to be grunchy. we are fishing. youre on a boat, most likely with a good friend. you are doing what you enjoy. you are in what is supposed to be your happy place. as i said earlier i don't care if you lie to my face, just have a smile on when you are doing so and only you will find only courtesy in return. |

This happens to me a lot when I'm in my kayak. Last weekend my dad and I were casting along a shore, probably about 200 ft apart, and a bass boat motored up and drops the bow mount right between us! Their lines were practically over my stern as they casted. Couldn't believe it. |

Location: north metro, MN | didn't take the time to read them all on account I have to leave for work so if someone already said this then I am sorry for posting it again.. if its dark then please turn your lights off after you have backed your trailer into the water. If you leave them on and its a double ramp the next person can not see a dang thing while trying to back in. Also after you pull your boat out don't stop 20 yards in front of the ramp, get your rig out of there! pull to the middle of the lot or if its busy enough pull as far away from the ramp as possible. |

Thanks for thinking i am a good enough fisherman that you could not catch a fish in water i have been through. I did not have that confidence in your ability. And the latter for just being that rude.

| Have to agree w / the big boat / small boat thing. Cant tell you how many times (tournaments and "free" fishing) this has happened to me on the water and even at the ramp. And yes, I am following all the "rules of the ramp/lake" mentioned above. Just makes me fish that much harder. |

| I know this is stating the obvious. But just be nice. Say good morning, be helpful at the launch and on the water. You're working a reef and someone is anchored on it . Don't throw your casts right up to there boat. I've seen this one a lot. Its rude and makes us all look bad. Finally, along with being nice. Smile when you're out there. Don't act like you're out there trying to cure cancer. We're just fishing. |

Location: Cedarburg, Wisconsin | It's not nice to drive between the other fisherman and the shoreline if he's casting up to the shoreline.
It isn't helpful running past someone with the nose of your boat pointed towards the sky. When someone asks you how fishing was and you answer "Swell!" it shouldn't describe the wake heights.
If you see me catch a fish, please wait till I get it out of the net before you come over and start casting exactly where I caught it. Pictures need clean backgrounds.
If you want to shoot the breeze about fishing during the day I'd be more than happy to exchange info as long as you approach me from the side I'm not casting towards.
If you see a person trolling, it's not polite to pretend it's the war of 1812 and you're in a British ship of the line working on crossing the "T". (Cutting across his stern if you're history impaired)
Weedbeds are for fishing, not motoring through if there is another route.
Ripping the weedbeds to pieces on every cast is not macho. It's about catching fish, not littering the surface with salad fixin's.
If your boat runs fast enough to create a breeze, stow the empty cans, candy wrappers, lures packages, and plastic bags before motoring down the lake and looking like a garbage blizzard in progress.
Have a nice day! |

| I've learned over the years that there are two ways (at least) to ask, "Hey, would you like some help?" One way has a sound in your voice that sounds a lot more like, "Geeze are you going to get that thing backed up sometime today?" and another way sounds more like, "Gee, I used to have so much trouble getting my boat in here, but I sort of learned a few tricks that really help!" Just like when you talk to your dog, the words mean nothing much but the attitude means everything. |

| Junkman, you're right, but even with a pleasant disposition in my heart and the most genuine inflection in my voice, still sounds condescending to me everytime I say it or hear it get said. 9 out of 10 times what gets heard is, "Are you too stupid to load that thing?!" |

Location: Grand Rapids, MI | Sorry, Junkman ,but I have to disagree. If there is someone having trouble backing in a trailer, THAT'S improper etiquette. You should practice in a parking lot or something before heading out to the launch. Now, the actual loading of a boat, I guess that just takes some experience so I'll be a little more patient with those people. |

Location: Milwaukee, WI | A few rules that I try to remember and practice:
#1: Not everyone is as aware of the "unwritten rules" of etiquette. More often than not, they aren't intentionally being a jackass - they just don't know any better. If the situation allows, try to educate people.
#2: If they are just being an intentional jackass, be polite and don't get angry. Fighting fire with fire doesn't help. Be the bigger man and let it go. It's fishing, not splitting the atom or curing cancer.

| I think its a whole lot better to start off treating people with respect. I saw a guy having issues launching his boat and I went over to help. Turned out he had some disabilities and could use the help. We all begin somewhere and to start your day off being a tool isn't very good musky karma in my book. It's just fishing and it should be enjoyable. |

| Make sure to shine the spot light in the eyes of the pleasure boater coming at you in the channel with his head lights on BEFORE giving him the lecture about ruining your night vision and having said lights on being illegal, not after. It just doesn't carry the same weight if you do it in a different order.

| I was fishing a shoreline and was maybe 30 yards off the end of the dock and had some jerks waterski in between me and the docks. After their second time around going in between me and the dock I could see that they were doing it intentionally. So I clipped on a big lure and flung it and bounced it off the side of their boat as they went around the 3rd time. They didnt do it again after that. I just don't see why people have to be that ignorant. Ya know. If your gonna water ski do it on the outside of people fishing or get off the water. |

I have always appreicated the attitude adjusting power that the Pounder can have when cast within a certain proximity of personal watercraft users. |

Location: Hopefully on the water | Remember Sound travels and there might actually be young ears out on the water. With that and taking your kids out. Remember they are new to this and doing something you enjoy and want to spend time with you. Find some patiance and enjoy the time with them, teach them, and relax. I have been on both sides of each of these and it is more enjoyable when not hearing the extra language or chewing out/ arguing your kids.
Yes if you are anchored or fishing a shoreline. Do not cut inbetween a boat and shore. I just about came unglued with a pontoon and a guide in another boat yesterday fishing this way. My son just looked at me and said that wasn't very nice of them was it dad. |

Location: Ontario, Canada | Follow the speed limits where posted. Don't create wakes in "no wake" areas . Slow down when to close to small craft such as canoeist, paddle boats etc.,
Don't throw trash-beer bottles/cans etc., in the water.
Don't leave trash at the ramp/road side when there is no proper place for disposal.
Don't drink in the boat at all, and if you do, don't drink enough to get foolish to the point of no longer being responsible, and don't start chirping and or mooning the cottage girls on shore.
All of these things really get the lakes cottage associations angry at fishermen.

Location: oswego, il | If you have a kid in the boat display proper etiquette. Had a guy coming at me casting perpendicular to the weedline while i was 90 degrees to him drifting parallel to it. I was casting out to basically where his boat was while my boat partner straight along the weedline. When he came near i straightened out my casts so they were not out by him. That was not good enough as he plopped one 5ft from my trolling motor. He had a 3 year old in the boat with him.
Got the ultimate pshyc out a couple years ago. An older lady driving a pontoon going to go right in front of me. I yell go around! And she replies that is my dock right there! And she just kept going right on past as she had planned. I had to laugh at that one.

| If you see someone anchored, late in the fall, clearly fishing with live bait, on a 1,200 acre lake that is all but abandoned, do NOT come up and drop your anchor and put your suckers out at such a close proximity where we can see what rods and reels you use and what brand of cigarettes you are smoking... |

| Dumbf***ers at the launch are what gets under my skin the most. Earlier this year a storm blew up out of nowhere and there were about 25 boats trying to pull out on 3 ramps when one guy decides to leave is child to hold the rope on his boat blocking a ramp for a good 10 minutes. Then he has the nerve to tell my buddy backing the truck down that he has to cut in front of us so he can get his boat out. I understand that everyone has to learn at some point but not on a saturday at the busyiest launch on the lake. |

Location: Minnesota. | Language!
I've schooled my kids about how sound travels out on the water and they've witnessed it.
Being from the trades I'm no Prim-Donna but when we're fishing or better yet, up north on vac. there's simply no call for it!
I might slip when we get one up close or get surprised but no one outside of the boat can hear me, it's that subtle. And even then I don't prefer it. |

| I volunteer to check boats at the launch on the lake where we have a cottage and musky fishermen are either the best or the worst. Most are great. They are concerned about the lakes and even thank the volunteers. Display a sense of humor and are smart enough to ask what has been happening with the musky bite. The others are so serious you would think they were going out to perform brain surgery. One of these was a guide, with his name on the truck cap and a nice Ranger boat. I asked him a couple of quick questions such as the last lake fished and whether he was aware of guidelines for checking your trailer and boat for invasives. He was gruff to the point of rudeness and then went to back his boat in. Made an absolute mess of it. Got the trailer at right angles to the truck, parallell to shore. Had to have his buddy pull the truck ahead and then back it in. Must have taken 10 minutes all together. I was tempted to take my camera out and take a few shots of this putz and his Ranger almost parked back on shore but didn't. And again, this was a guide with a Ranger and his name on his truck. |

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Sweet topic! I & my brother-in law -> Bill Dorn fished the Petenwell Muskie Challenge this weekend. Let me first say this - Todd & the Muskie Club's put on a well run tournament. This was Bill's first PMC event.
I really enjoyed seeing some of the past contestant's and talking with them, as well as seeing them on the water. Other's, we could have done without, especially being lied to at the registration by a contestant was a new low (Are these seats free? No!). Then being on the water and trolling while watching the same team casting to shore for ~ 1/4 mile as we approach, the same individual turns and throws a bomb to the middle of the river (My water!). Up to that point all of his cast's were to the shore. You know who you are, you're an nice try. I went outside his comfort zone of his cast, he's still an nice try.
I have never cut in front of anyone or even thought of trying to push into anyone's space. I really missed Saint1 & Norm W at this event, they have the right perspective, "its just fishing"! Some people could take a lesson or two from Norm & Saint1.
I tried to win Norm's 1/2 day guide trip, but it wasn't to be. But we did win the holographic Muskie print signed by Pete Mania from the Operation Muskie folks- Yes I also dropped a bit of $ there ( 15 years - Army 1966-1981). It's a good cause, thanks to all who are supporting the event....
Am I bummed? Yes, I lost a high 40's fish about 10:15AM Sunday ~ 20 ft from the boat - my fault. But, it was also a hell of an adrenaline rush! There's always next year.
Have fun! It's just a fish, treat people like you want to be treated.

Location: Plymouth IA | I know how to backup the boat but when i am with my oldest and have to get her out of the wheelchair into the boat then put the wheelchair back in the car, it takes some time. so cut me some slack and do not tell me at the landing it would be quicker if i leave her in the wheelchair it is the same as if tie yourself to an anchor. Even with all the wheelchair shuffle we get the boat ramp thing done quicker than some. So lets be nice out there.
if you are impatient at the ramp help out the other fella.
Your voice carry's on the water if I am with the kids excessive bad words get a phone call to my friend the deputy. If you get mad and come back to get me the 12 gauge w 00 buck is in the side locker of the boat and will get the job done until the deputy gets back.
So as i said be nice out there other folks are watching and if someone needs a tow back to the landing reel up and help out. One weekend i had to tow the same folks twice yes they should have had the sense to not go out again until the motor was fixed.
My nephew said something about them interrupting our fishing. I told him helping out others in need is the right thing to do he was 9 then. If you meet him and need help he is the first to help out folks in need. He graduated from collage this winter.
So if you see an old Tuffy Rampage on Cass or Leach or Big Winne or Miltona or French or Clear lake say hi

I guess this goes both ways...I take my kids fishing all of the time and take up a ramp for xtra time while i run up to get the truck. Sometimes we can still launch faster than others, sometimes not. Sometimes patience goes a long ways.
Could giving 5 minutes up of your time to help the guy out be that bad?
I certainly agree with being efficient at the ramps but calling a dad and his kid dumb()@$#ers seems to be on the opposite side of proper etiquette. |

Location: Chisholm, MN | Parking at small launches is important. There have been a number of times at my cabin where I have had to move trailers or take them off and dump them in the woods just to put my boat in. Then I call the sheriff and let these guys know how I feel. Usually they have no clue they have even done anything wrong even though it takes an hour for me to get around their trucks at the landing. |

What are you gonna do with that, pull it out if someone says something you don't like? You're saying you're gonna shoot someone? Yeah, right! And what good is it to let someone know you are carrying a firearm just b/c they say something you don't like? They know you aren't gonna shoot. They'll just laugh in your face the same way I would. LOL! Hook. Line. Sinker. Rod. Reel. You took all of them. Well done. Don't worry little guy, I'm the one laughing at you for posting something so stupid to begin with, then trying to hide behind making it look like humor. Go ahead, pull that gun. I'll laugh at you all day long like I am now, little boy.
What am I hiding from?
The stupid is strong with this one.

Your voice carry's on the water if I am with the kids excessive bad words get a phone call to my friend the deputy. If you get mad and come back to get me the 12 gauge w 00 buck is in the side locker of the boat and will get the job done until the deputy gets back.
So, is the 12 guage to protect you from the kids??  |

No not from kids, I should not have said kids sorry. The only issues have been drunken crazy folk who wanted to push my kid in off the dock in her wheelchair couple of years ago and 7 years ago i lived near the school the police asked to use my house (good view of the back of the school) to bust drug dealers and i agreed, the drug dealers thought they would get even at the lake and were convinced otherwise.

Agree x100.
If you get impatient at the launch with a guy taking an extra 5 minutes, YOU are the one with a problem, not him.

Don't drink in the boat at all, and if you do, don't drink enough to get foolish, and don't start chirping and or mooning the cottage girls on shore.
Ok - Ok, you got me!

| Totally agree with the idea of being respectful and not jumping in front of someone that's already fishing. There's a growing number of fishermen at Green River getting upset with a certain "guide" that has a tendency to do that sort of thing. In an area that's not that large, it's common courtesy to fall in behind the guy that's already fishing. If you continue to cut people off, sooner xwor later you'll cut the wrong personal off and it won't be a good situation. |
