8/15/2010 11:51:00 AMI feel your pain. This place is always a zoo. I make it a point to be off the water before 10:00 am. If it makes you feel any better, a couple weeks back I saw the sheriff boat write up about a dozen boaters for boating like idiots.
Take care

8/16/2010 10:01:00 AMI'm with ya on that one! I'v never seen so many morons out on one lake as I did this weekend. People in ski boats would come dangerously close to you and look at you like you should roll over and play dead for them. Like YOU yield to ME cuz I got my kid on a wakeboard behind me and you better stay clear. I've got news for you bub. I fish by the Tapps Is. bridge occasionally, and I don't block the passage in any way shape or form and these weekend boaters come through there giving me dirty looks. I usually give them right back.

8/16/2010 1:20:00 PMI almost snagged me a jet skier out there a few weeks ago. A couple of young girls on one coming up from behind me I didn't know they would be so close. I through out a heavy spinnerbait and came within about 5' of hooking them. They gave me a wider berth from then on. I am lucky to have tue/wed off so I don't usually have to put up with all the nonsence until 2 or 3pm and by them I am ready to call it quits anyway.

8/16/2010 7:49:00 PMsounds like good day expect for PBA(power boat as%&%&#) as my brother used to call them from his sail boat on Lake Washington. But I tend to avoid those lakes with power boats because of that reason. I like to fish in evening more then am and this time of year get swimmers, horseback riders, people throwing balls to their dogs, people with remote boats and others who could care less about fisherman out there. Also only have 6 1/2 ft boat with no motor. Tried Big Lake by Mt Vernon and same thing you get swamped by power boats.
