DON'T do it that way.

I have one such pending court case right now- criminal negligent use of a firearm among other things- it takes your license for a year or more among other penalties- enough said.

You will not like the outcome.

Ask them to leave, if they don't sit back and eat a pack of nabs and wait for them to fish on.

Stand up very visibly in your blind, and take pictures of their boat. When they ask why you are doing it, say it's for evidence when you bring a "interfering with a hunt" charge against them. The visibly get on your cell phone.

Might make em nervous enough to leave.

Trad...today would be a totally different story. Today, I would pack my shit up and move on. It isnt worth it just to kill some birds.

Dude calm down it was just a joke. I would never shoot at anyone . A duck isn't worth jail time for me. If a bass fisherman was that close to me and wouldn't be polite enough to move I would just go home.

Trad, what kind of evidence would be considered adequate to establish PC in making an "interfering with a legal hunt" case? Wouldn't that be Federal?

Or is it a case that should be witnessed by a LEO in order to make it stick?

One thing to consider - it is all based on the individual scenario. There are times when a fisherman might be 50 yards away from you and NEITHER of you know it. Be sensible.

To me, the interference comes when they are (A) aware of your position, and (B) have been asked to move (and refused) and (C) are so close as to cause a safety concern as well as to shut down your chances of success. How does one measure that?

To me, the best you can hope for is 50-75 yards. Which is not enough, but probably the best the law will give you as I see it. 100 yards would be better, but that might be seen as placing an undue burden on the fisherman.

Being an asshole (either side) never solves anything.

Just crank up the ol' mud motor and shoot some rooster tails over his boat that should make him leave
