Sounds like a few of you have had this happen to you or know someone who has, The lesson here is to forgive and overlook those who do this even though it makes you angry. Acting out toward them puts you on the same level as they are. I or my granddaughter won't forget but we do forgive them.
Amen brother! Turn the other cheeck! Some people don't deserve the attention of you getting angry. Hard to have self control in these citations though.Quote:

River. when I heard a big bass boat fire up and here he came passing by us at about 30 yards at about 60 MPH! I was upset at first until I realized that by doing this his boat was so high out of the water that he barely caused a ripple. This guy knew what he was doing. The ones that slow down and start pushing white water wakes are the problem yet they think that they are being courteous.
They should not run that close and some unknowingly do slow down are making bigger wakes . I fished Blue Mtn lake earlier this year several times . Even made a comment how curetous the fishermen were slowing down making very little wake . Wish it were like this on other lakes I fish .
Yea, The bigger more powerful boats should be all the way up on plane or barely idling by. There's no inbetween. My boat being a lower powered aluminum rig, I feel like I need to slow down to idle as I still push a pretty good wake on plane.
Stick steers with small motors are one of the worst making wakesQuote:

Now you guys go catch a lot of SLABS rip their lips out and enjoy eating them, no fishing for me today I have to get ready for Sunday. Have a great Easter Sunday and remember it's not about Peter Cotton Tail.
stick steers with fat guys like me make alot of wake:biggrinQuote:

I kind of resemble this remark. LOL I push a lot of water. There are uncourteous actions and then there are actions that are hazardous. Splitting two boats that are close enough to talk is dangerous. I fish a lot narrow creeks and sloughs and getting a little wake rock is normal. But washing out a guy tied to a top is different from waking a guy casting to the bank. And everybody knows that a guy in a $20K bass rig trumps a guy in a flat bottom. Till you see him again at the ramp.Quote:
