[QUOTE="SLE, post: 380323, member: 3889"] So does this apply to the dough heads in fishing boats that blow by you 50 ft away going 40-60+ mph running the shore line when there's 4 million acres of open water just off the shore line, or the dipshits that think that own a spot and try to push you out, or the brilliance of pulling to to the middle of 5 boats trolling and spot locking to jig rap? It aint just wakeboats.......................... How about the pleasure boaters on pontoons anchored up with kids swimming in a busy area, or the jet ski's racing behind and jumping your wake or..................... I spend as much time Fishing as I do on a big wake boat, and we also have jet ski's and a toon in the fleet and I can assure you they come in all forms. The worst is when there's a little cash on the table and all common sense and courtesy goes out the window. The ridiculousness I put up with during the days leading up to during the governors cup was astounding. I've also been in the wake boat in an uninhabited bay with no one around, only to have some beach goers or fisherman show up and then be pissed off when we come by and it dislodges them from the shore or they're bouncing around, even though we'd been there for hours before they ever left there own dock. At the end of the day I find that I occasionally have to remind myself that all walks of life and inelegance are out trying to enjoy the water (many that don't have the experience that many of us do) and we all might have a different idea of what that looks like but the end goal is the same for all be it a wake boat, jet ski, pontoon, fishing boat, sail boat ect. everyones out there to have fun! and chance are, most are looking for that smooth spot out of the wind in our wonderful windy state which certainly creates intermixing of recreational activities. I try to not get to worked up unless it's reckless or dangerous. [/QUOTE]
