I’ve about give up on the lakes during the summer. just way to people these days and half of them don’t know a thing about how to drive a boat. It wouldn’t break my heart if the state started to require a boating license for anyone operating any water craft.
boating safety is required for a certain age. eventually, as those grandfathered in die off, it will be required of everybody.
for a good source of entertainment, go to a popular ramp on a saturday evening and watch the drunk boaters try to load their boats.

my favorite two things are a) the person who has never even beenin a boat let alone operated one trying out a 55k barge b)the guy in a 60ft boat doing 35 mph along the bank oblivious to the main channel

i like to wake board, tube, ski, fish....about any activity on the lake so i cant complain about what people do while on the lake. Its the # of people doing it that i dont like. back when i had my fish-n-ski it seemed there was plenty of room for everybody....Not now.

Floating trotlines and alligators. I'd say what I really think about the bulk of the wakeboarders, jet skiers and drunks on anchored pontoons playing music loud enough to make your ears bleed, but I'd get perma-banned.

Stik, have you ever been to concord ramp and watch all the rich people put in/out of the water with there $85,000 ski boats? My buddy and I fish a tournament out of poland creek but we put in at concord and water track over, its a short tounament, weigh in at like 12:00 but we stick around after just shooting the bull so we can watch all of them unload/load there boats. Its a show sometimes

the funniest thing that I ever saw was many years ago at the Tn. River.
we were on the beach and this hotrodder kept blowing by us in a speed boat, getting closer and closer to us with each pass.
not only was he loud as heck but we knew that he was doing it to piss us off because he never went out of sight , but stayed right there going back and forth...dozens of times.
Finally, he got too close to the shore and 'dry docked" the thing...!
He was running close to wide open and ran up on a sand bar just below the surface....
after we stopped laughing we went out to make sure he was okay and to give him a ride back to shore...not sure how he got the boat out, it was still there when we left that afternoon, with a very large hole in the hull.....lol.
stupid is as stupid does.
