West Bay Crabber!

[sfef84]

I'll be lookin for two new members in the Welcome section: "WestbayCrabber" and "Airboat Guy"

[reeltime]

Next time ya'll see him ask him to join www.fishwestend.com

[sfef84]

He parks his truck at the Pirates Marina, leave him a note next time

Didn't realize that airboat guy had already been discussed. Still get Pi$$ed off every time I see him. And to make matters worse, he doesnt follow one path.... He'll go out of como, turn west and rape Dana cove shoreline to show people F'ing stingrays in 3 feet of water and then go in ONLY to RETURN and finish raping any other shorline he didnt F up on his first trip.

I'm surprised TPWD hasn't had more complaints. It is a State Park.

He should haul his airboatin ars to where the dolphin tour boats take off.... or to sportsman road.

Saturday morning I felt like I was dragging my bottom across the grass, then realized I was passed-out drunk still and sleeping in the yard???!!!

I think he is a lucky man that someone hasn't put him in a crab trap... Just sayin...

[GHSmacker]

F cK that stupid a $$ craber ..... I hate him!!!!!

CALL TPWD for harassing fisherman, he must stay 50' away from you while your wading. GW said they were going to have a talk with him when I reported him.

He can K M A!!!! ....seriuosly, let me catch him on land

All he has to do is wait until after 10am to check his traps, but nooo!!!! , he thinks early morning is the right time .... . karma sucks

You can't be talking about that poor ol' crabber. Bless his little heart. He really does mean well. That is the way he makes his living after all.

Nothing is worse than the guy that takes his giant airboat through GISP, Danas and surrounding areas every weekend. I understand he does it for a living but when people pay good money for a fishing license AND have to pay to fish (I know your day pass counts as a license) at the state park, its annoying. Especially because he hugs the grass line at about 110 dB. Pretty much negates the whole point of wading.

I'm sure hes a nice guy, but there has to be over a 100 miles of coastline in East,West, Upper and Lower Galveston Bay. Why F up the state park?

I move on or at least a respectable distance away it's freakin common sense!

Yes, but if you notice, 95% of the boaters on the water lack this thing that you call common sense.

[txwhaler 22]

Respect for your fellow water enthusiast
That's all I'm saying .... If I want to go into a cove
And there are some kayakers or wade fisherman
Or another boat... I move on or at least a respectable distance away it's freakin common sense!

GISP Airboater

Boo! I know the guy is "making a living", but think of how many other people use that cove for their enjoyment? I have no problems with airboats running around in the sticks, or as a tool to get out to duckhunt, but you would think a person would feel bad disrupting that many people. Some people have consideration for others, some don't.

He keeps his distance, as I'm often fishing out deeper, but I can still feel my kayak resonating from the pressure waves coming off that thing. I feel sorry for the guys he blows by.

I must have missed him Sunday but saw the airboat tour guy... He was coming in as I was going out then came back out with another trip I'm assuming. He went out through the state park, I felt bad people were wading the entire area and can only imagine how the fish scattered once that thing came roaring through, not to mention that heavy boat dragging its bottom along the sea grass!! Tide were low & I know he was dragging bottom in areas

[Charlie's Custom Rods]

Anybody try to talk to him?

yes. He lacks personality and understanding.
I know the guy is trying to make a living but come on...
