Lights for Skiing?

Re: Lights for Skiing?

We all have pet peeves. The fact is that discourteous people suck period. When I am pulling a wakeboarder and I have a good stretch of glass ahead, that I worked hard to get for my "customer" (son etc.), I would sure appreciate it if other boaters could hang on for 5 minutes and pass after he splatters . . .

Hey guys, didn't mean to start a range war. I just asked about those round things on the bracket.

Another reason I only fish on weekdays. In my little 12' tinnie, wakeboats are floating horrors. Besides, they seem eager to veer towards me and blast by my fishing location as closely as possible. What's the deal with that? I'm thinking about putting some sort of grab handles on the gunwales of my boat, just to have something to hold on to while the boat rocks violently.

Until then, I call the lake patrol on my cell phone and report the offender, complete with registration numbers. Nothing sweeter than seeing one of those hoodlums sitting in the water with the local patrol boat alongside.

I hate it when they and jet skiers zoom past as close as they can when I am in my 12 foot tinny. When fishing from the front, the back is like a sail. Although, I have fished in 3 foot waves in the 12 footer. I just have to steer the bow toward the wake when I see one of those.

I cannot get mad at skiers/tubers/wakeboarders in general, as I do do that with friends in there deckboat. It throws a big wake, but that is just because it is a 22 foot deckboat with a full fuel tank. The only fisherman we ever have given wake to (unintentionally) is ones in the main lake. Even when in the 12 footer, I don't complain about wake in the main lake. I do have to share the lake, but I hate it when they come and blow up the cove I am in. Watersports should, for the most part, stay in the main lake.

Wow -- what a nerve! Yeah, inconsideration abounds. From the peson who will walk between you and whatever you are trying to look at on the store shelf without so much as a pardon me to the guy on my bay that has a hat-trick of annoyances:

-open thru hull exhaust on his wake boat
-skis after dark
-regularly runs with no spotter

Mask, snorkel, auger. Check!
