First of all, if your Mom taught you all this, then your mother is very cool. All of this is common sense, but it doesn't hurt to review some good boating and fishing etiquette.

• Speed - fun, but safely in the right place at the right time. Always be aware of those around you, and slow down as you pass.

• Personal space is a good thing, especially while fishing. Never work the same structure or bank as another fisherman. Wait until he or she moves on before you give it a shot.

• Go immediately to anyone in need of help.

• Extra bait and leaving for the day? Offer it to someone else!

• Give the same amount of space to other boaters and fisherman as you would like to have for yourself.

• First come, first served on the boat ramp. Be patient and wait for your turn.

• Be patient if you see someone struggling at the boat ramp. You were once a beginner yourself. Some may appreciate you turning a blind eye, while others may be thrilled with your help.

• Catch and Release!
