Okay Rackseeker, please explain why jetskiers "deserve" more of anything on the water than anyone else. I gotta hear this.
Those pleasure boats and 70 mph bass boats will be worthless in a few short years anyway. Silver carp will kill out the idiots soon enough. It will do what TWRA and the police can't.

I was just messin around, trying to get a rise out of a few. I hate it also. I had a fella hit my bassboat with his jetski that got away from him. My boat was tied to the dock while I was backing my truck and trailer down the ramp. He lost control of his watercraft and hit my boat. He took off without saying anything. I thought about running him down but didn't figure it was worth going to jail over. I was hoping to get more tore up with that comment.

One of the reasons I like the smaller lakes...there aren't any of the wake boats to deal with.

The lakes are made for everyone to enjoy. Why can't fisherman go elsewhere to fish while people ride their jetskis. Jetskiers deserve to use the lake just as much as fisherman, if not more.

I have no problem with them if they go on. The ones that irk me are the ones that want to circle you or make several passes just too mess with you. There are some that think it is funny. I don't think they realize that a Bass Boat with a big motor will out run a Wake Boat.

A 1/2 oz lead weight can get anyones attention. Seen it done and it isn't a pretty site. Keeping your distance keeps people happy. Also my fishing boat makes a 3ft wake. Those pretty wake boats don't look too good bouncing into one another. Everyone needs to learn proper water manners. Esp on the ramps.

Nope, not the main lake. I went to a part of what I was told that was Boone Lake at a park in Bluff City. Actually caught a decent sized rainbow trout from the pier. 
I meant smaller lakes like the ones in Shelby Forest, Edmund Orgill, etc. Lakes where only trolling motors are allowed.
