Last trip out I was in my “spot” by 4:30am. I know thats pretty early, but I wanted to be sure I was firstone there. Had two other boats pull up to their “spot” about 200-300 yds away. No biggie, plenty of room between us. About 6 am all three of us are waving boats off with our spotlights as they wander to and fro looking for their “spot”. Fortunatley for me, this day, the boat load of jack 
decide to set up about 50 yds from one of the other two boats that were out there real early like me.
How do you keep the cidiots away? I kow its a big river, and all public hunting area, but come on…50 yds? It amazes me how some poeple have such disregard for others to arrive so late and then expect to get in on the better areas…its rude, and unsportsmanlike.
