I may have to remember that trick for fishing next time. Totally dick but a good idea. The biggest problem is most people have no idea what a dive flag is and for some reason it seems to be a magnet for stupid boat operators......

I was gonna say the same. They need to drive up real close to see what fish is on it......

Lack of paddy ettiquet is how I was named Az.monkey. Some Assmonkey parked on a paddy that was producing a steady pick for about 20 or so boats ( all invited by the finder ) and this Assmonkey crashes the party and parks on top of it . I let go with both barrels than resorted to the radio as he shut off the bite in an instant and tossed the salad as he sped away slap:

Seadawg and others- Thanks for your info- spent about a hr reading thru your info and then ran out the next day for a try...

Success on the backside of the SCI about 4 miles out from Yellow Banks... 12 lbs DoDo on our first paddy and tons of fun after that. Worked about 100 yrds out and made passes around until we where on top and jigging. Every paddy we hit w/ success except when seals where on them.

I understand the thought behind flying a dive flag to detour other anglers who may shut off the bite, but there is a whole concept here that isn't being seen. On here alone, 20+ people have seen and recieved the idea the people may be bluffing a diver. They come up on a patty flying a flag and think.... "these assholes are pulling the wool over everyone's eyes" The driver heads over there more concerned at this point about the fish, because he assumes there is really no diver until he witnesses a crimson hue throughout the water and a floating body. Come on guys... If you got a diver then fly a flag. If you don't then find another way to stake claim. Hail the boat by radio and ask them to leave... It's that easy.
