Bunch of grumpy old fisherman that think they own the lake, come on guys everyone was a kid at one time! If you think back far enough you might be able to see a small glimmer of you youth. There can be fun had by everyone on the lake, it's just a matter of respect. I've dealt with far more rude fisherman than have jet skis and wakeboards on Sakakawea, I'm sure it's different at other lake or even where you at on the lake. You know the guys that "own" the community fishing spot, or the ones that need to run along the shore cutting between where your fishing and the shore even though there's 10,000 acres of boat free water on the other side of you, or maybe the jackwagon that comes in to a spot where people are trolling or drifting yet they set spot lock or drop and anchor, or the guy that launching by himself and ties up to the side of the dock where the ramp is versus pulling around the other side so other people can unload and load while he's parking his truck and getting bait and stopping at the rest room to take a dump before his day on the water, or..........I can keep going all day long.....I've see an witnessed it all and every weekend I see it happen more.There's lots of room on our lakes, they're just not that crowded unless your at van hook, lol. The jet skies and people that want to play, pleasure boat, and pontoon around certainly can do so without bugging other people, I reserve no judgement just because they have a tower and speakers on there boat. I mean really? If they drive it like a jackwagon, I'm gonna call them a jackwagon regardless if they have Moomba or Warrior 2090BT!I'm as much of a die hard fisherman as anyone, said I'd never have a ski boat or a godforsaken jet ski and no I'm not a beach guy but as the kids grew up, my current fishing boat now has a ski pole, I find myself on the beach most really nice afternoons at the lake (after fishing all morning of course), I found a wakeboard rack that mounts to my rails just like my rod holders, holy shit.....a jet ski followed my truck home this spring and the kids have a blast on it (supervised of course so they don't become jackwagons) and low and behold I even take it for spin now and then, gotta make sure it's safe and runs ok, lol; just nobody take a picture of me on it, you might catch a smile on my face.- - - Updated - - -FYI, my radio runs in my boat probably 80-90% of the time it's on the water.....I wouldn't buy one without.</blockquote>
