If today is any indication of what Memorial Day weekend is gonna be like, it will be terrible. COE campground at Sardis is literally crawling with PWC and rugrats and barking dogs. Saw one fella that had 6 or 8 ski doos on a pontoon trailer. Kids running wild giving the campground hosts a headache. Ought to be interesting.
Fun times......
Got hit head on in 1980 by a 16 yr. old drunk(2.6) at Grenada( swimming area/ 330 loop intersection ) . Said I would never go to a lake again on any major holiday . then worked boat patrol and mobile ranger shift for ten summers . I saw a lot of " stuff" , some good some terrible .
They was on the water at Enid this afternoon.
Going to be a 3 ring circus over the weekend. Especially since we have had the weather we have. They all pent up and rearing to go.
Had a guy in a fish and ski with a tube in it block the ramp Saturday when I was trying to load up, patiently I waited as the 5 minutes went by for me to back my trailer in. Well the ole guy who parked the truck walks down the dock with me and gets in the fish and ski, I get in my boat. They are talking and visiting and whatever so I loop out to load my boat, get straight with the trailer and here they come with the nose in the air and pass between me and my trailer, I'm less than 50 feet from my trailer, just shook my head and was glad I was loading up and getting out. Fish early and grill out in the afternoons, summer pattern is here.
It will be like that here soon enough. Fish early & load it back up at lunchtime.
This kinda junk is all to familiar!!! Crazy.Quote:

so its better for them to be at 1/4 throttle pushing a bigger wake????:donoQuote:

The bass rig pushed a wake that dang near came over the bow of my Cat with me sitting down in the center, unreal that folks want to push a wall of water like that, I'm either at "no wake" or on plane, no in between except for when I am getting on plane.
Never said a word about them going 1/4 throttle. What I am saying and they can go as fast as they want is that they have to go straight in and straight out. NO CRUSING THE SHORELINE. I to like yaks and want to get one. So I agree with no wake. When I had my big boat on the water and the big engine I would slow to where I saw no ripples when passing yaks and jon boats. I didn't like being rocked in my big boat and I wasn't about to rock someone in a smaller boat. No disrespect Reees but keeping PWC's out away from the shoreline is safer for all that are going slow and fishing the bank. I do hope to met you one day. I also want to say I respect what you say on here.
I got ya, no way to control it tho. Would be nice but the fact is a lot of folks just don't care how their actions impact you, sad but true.
Had a flea on a ski come all the way acros Nader yesterday from the north end to wolf creek, he made a loop around me then went all the way back across the lake, got a suprise for him next time!
Left there two days ago shoulda left two days before that feel sorry for Ken & Jerry
Fleas ain't near as bad as these dang bugs!!!!!!
