Boat noise - just a little gripe
Just a little fun griping. We were leaving Jordan on Saturday and this guy was getting ready to take off from the dock and his boat nearly put me deaf. It was a pleasure boat with an inboard and above water exhaust. I tied off at the ramp and my daughter stepped out on the dock just as the guy started his boat. I thought my poor daughter was going to jump to the other side of the lake. The man and woman on that thing couldn't even talk to each other it was so loud. They just kept yelling. I told my daughter to plug her ears like I was doing and just laugh. Oh how I love to fish in the winter months.

That's why I kayak in waters they can't go.
Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

I don't know which is worse, the loud exhaust or the mega-stereo systems on the big ski boats!!!

I went out Sunday afternoon and was longing for the winter months too. Saw a kid (10-12 yr old) fall off the front of a wake boarding boat trying to pick up a water bottle floating in the lake. I don't think the operator knew it happened and it looked like th boat was still in gear. The kid was pushing himself away from the side of the boat the whole length of it. They looked at me like I was crazy when I was yelling the kid had fallen off then said "We were just picking up the trash."

Never seen the parking lot at Harris so full on Sunday, people lined up to load and unload. Luckily while I was there it seemed everyone had a brain and things went pretty smooth. Still, thinking about a kayak myself...

Which ramp did you go out of at Harris? I've been to Holleman's before and it was lined up to the paved road. I generally stop going to Harris in the summer unless I get there in mornings or real late in the evenings. It's only going to get worse with all the houses they are building near the lake.

Yep Holleman's, it's 10 minutes from my house. I might just drive to the other ramp. I moved to Holly Springs in 2000 so I got dibs on that rampWhere do you go in the summer?

Was fishing Jordan last year and some jerks in a wakeboat " Pirate" on the side started harrassing me. The adult(?) skier swung by so close he could have touched my boat. Started carrying a wrist rocket for snakes. I did call law enforcement. They said they were familiar with the boat/ operator.

Had a water skier spray me one time then come back around just as I was making a cast. Spooled me then came back and harassed me along with another boat of their friends.
