Location: Oregon, WI | As most of you have said, I'm not concerned that they may scare fish, but the fact that I have to stop and hang on until things settle down that pee me off.

Location: WI | I've come to peace with the fact that some mysterious force exists in this world that pushes pleasure boaters towards the 75 ft between me and the shoreline and not the mile of open water behind me. The 30 ft yacht plowing up a 4 ft wake w/ the sailor cap wearing, millionaire turd behind the wheel still raises my blood pressure a bit. |

| the other week i was out catfishing and had a bunch of kids in their 20s driving a boat with a kid wakeboarding behind it. Cut the boat about 10 feet away from us to sling the wakeboarder towards us. should've punched him for being a jerk he got so close going by instead he wrapped a line around his board spooled my calcutta and ruined the gears and drag before i could do anything about it. i'm 21 years old and even im not that stupid or ignorant to do that. |

wow, thats getting out of hand - spooled by a wake boarder while catfishing. i have never heard of that before.... nice job keeping your cool - i wouldnt know what to do in that situation, but definetly unacceptable on there part. someday that wake boarder will spool the wrong catfisher and probably pay the price. i know some pretty tough biker style catfisher that probably would have tied that wake boarder into a pretzel if he spooled them like that.
Since this post is kind of telling funny stories.. if anyone knows of Arcola Bridge on lake Mntka - earlier this year i was motoring through that area heading in around 1 am on a weekday and i hear a bunch of rumbling underneath the bridge and a guy yells "hey I am trying to get some sleep, get out of here"- scared the b jesus out of me... it appeared the guy was living under there. I always see a scruffy guy panfishing from shore down there I wonder if its him. I also had a beer bottle thrown at me another time through there, but couldnt tell which direction it came from and i didnt see anyone but got the heck out of there.

| Happens to me all the time on the chain I yell and they wave. One of my buddys casted at a boat on CL a.few.years back. He ended up hitting the boat they let him sit in a cell for a few hours telling him he was going to be charged with assault with a deadly weapon. The people did not press charges so he was released. Most of the people have no clue they are doing anything wrong. |

| It's part of the game.... I had 2 Walleye guys last week just at dusk drive their boat exactly along the weedline I was fishing and drove right pass me nearly clipping my Whopper Plopper with their keel. I was amazed considering it was 2 anglers and they had plenty of enough time and room to ride within the actual massive channel behind me. They choose to drive outside of navigational markers with 30 feet of my boat right along weedline where I was casting. Pretty stunned.... |

| Easy on the water-skiers. Not all of them are stupid, just most. It's something to do when the water temp is in the mid-80s and it beats getting drug around in a tube. I'll be in the MasterCraft next week. I don't get close to fishermen, but I get close enough for them to wonder why they're killing themselves in the 100 degree heat while I'm having fun. |
