You'll only get accused of cheating if you're out-fishing them, I'd take it as a compliment

Cheating? If you're fishing for your self there is only the rules you set! Oh and the fishery rules. You don't wanna be getting kicked off

I've never understood people who say a certain method is cheating. Unless you are in a match then who cares? I think there are alot of jelous anglers out there who have nothing else better to do than moan at others and tell them how they should or should not be fishing. Go out and enjoy it, if yoy aint breaking any rules, you are doing no wrong.

We've got to draw the line somewhere and I draw it past bait boats but before castable sonar devices.

I have seen many of the top anglers on videos go out in a boat to land fish and that's never considered cheating.
Enjoy your fishing and carry on using your bait boat.

Who are they cheating? If someone says using a boat is cheating? Cheating who? I didn't realise pleasure angling was a competition?

I use to belong to a club that had a no baitboat policy at the time there was 1 disabled angler in the club who was allowed to use 1 no one complained and most had the opinion of good on you still getting out there and enjoying your sport

Thats brilliant that commin sense is applied. The "thats not fair" brigade are just embarressing to be honest. Like I said, fishing is about enjoyment, people go to relax, away from lives pressures to unwind. The last thing you want is people whinging and moaning at you, potentially driving you away from a sport you love.

Cheating implies it is a competition and I've never thought of fishing as a competition, I do it for myself and I couldn't care less what other people think, the same as you shouldn't mate.
Carry on and feel free to carry on enjoying fishing
