I wonder if those kids are still cleaning out their drawers after almost flipping their daddy's bass boat on Sunday? The morons on the lake just keep getting thicker and thicker.
Throw on top of that the evidently new rage with 20 somethings now is to buy a boat specifically built to create the biggest wake possible with a million gigawatt stereo for them to wake board behind. There was even one up there Sunday that made a big enough wake, they were pulling/riding a surf board on it. You throw several of those boats in close proximity to one another running back and forth, crisscrossing over to make their wakes even bigger within 100 yards of you and it will dang near sink your boat. Evidently not a single one of them has ever bothered to read the KY boating manual.

They should make them take an intelligence test to drive a boat. Parents have a place at the Moors. I sat on the patio and watched all kinds of idiots coming and going in Buckhorn. We fished from the pontoon all weekend. Wasn't brave enough to take the tracker out.

I am all for a law in KY that would require EVERYONE to have a boater's Licence. These people have nothing to lose if they get a ticket. They just pay the fine and go on about their business. I have a USCG pilot's licence and if I got ticketed for some of the things these people are doing I could lose my livelihood!
I didn't see 1 water Water Patrol boat all holiday weekend in this area. There are at least 5 good size campgrounds/Resorts within 3 miles of this bay, plus you have the Rock Quarry idiots to deal with.
Right now anybody with a little money can go out and buy or rent some kind of watercraft and not have to prove they have a clue how to safely operate it. And they wonder why people get killed on this lake...

I saw the KY water patrol about as far south as they could legally be Saturday afternoon. I had no idea why they were down there until I took my wife and daughter for a joy ride Sunday afternoon. TN's water patrol was out in force and handing out tickets like nobody's business. Oddly enough, the small bays off of the side of Cypress which are in KY were jam packed with party boat flotillas thumbing their noses at the TN patrol boat within eyesight. I guess that's why I saw the KY patrol headed that way Saturday afternoon.

The Marshall Co Sheriff's patrol boat was out on Monday. Saw him in Big Bear as we were headed back in.
I will say this, the jet-ski situation seems to be much better now than a few years ago. Maybe the novelty wore off or the age-limit for young kids helped Slow them down.
