I was wading along in the shallows of a local backwater and catching a few fish tonight when a boat comes in and anchors to cast an area about fifty feet in front of me. I kept fishing along while wading around their bobbers until I was a past them by about as far as they had initaially been in front of me. Then they started their motor and moved about that far ahead of me again. When I kept going along I was soundly cursed for not respecting the water they were already fishing. I ended up telling them both they could come and do something about it if they could. Not real likely as that water is still fairly cold and has a trecherous bottom in there. Should I have turned back to the launch ramp when they came in there? Not many other options though I could have stopped fishing until I was by them.
