Lake Lice is all the annoying riffraff on the lake including jet skis, ski boats, cruisers, jet boats and power boats that don’t appear to be accomplishing anything except making a lot of noise and waves and don’t have any consideration for anyone else on the lake.

When I was a LOT younger I enjoyed all types of water-skiing including slaloming, trick-skiing, jumping and bare-footing but we always tried to find a place on the lake where no one was fishing and we wouldn’t bother anyone.

Now people don’t seem to care about anyone but themselves and probably don’t realize how big a wake their great big deep-V hull boat makes when they are cruising around with the bow in the air and just fast enough to not quite plane out. I’ve read that in some states people are now being held responsible for damage the wake from their boat makes to docks and other boats so maybe that will make people more aware.

Our boating law states that it is illegal to operate a boat in excess of 5 mph within 100 feet of a dock or anchored boat but people are going to have get a lot more tickets before they’ll start paying any attention to the law.

FISH ON!
