8/20/2012 6:47:00 PMHey kfleck,
You shudda called the Spokane police. They are very pro active with fishermen out there. I know its in hind sight but you could have reported their boat number or even their trailer and truck license plate number too. Sorry to hear of your misfortunes out there. Must be related to the knobs on lake tapps. Take it easy man, Todd

8/20/2012 7:40:00 PMYears ago, in another state, we had a jet ski that was trying to play chicken with our 16 footer as we ran down the lake. My dad got tired of it so he turned into the guy instead of away at the last minute. Crowds roared, cops ticked him, dad did not even get a warning. I doubt the SKI ever ran again.
Hmmmm, can we get away with that in Washington??????

8/20/2012 9:34:00 PMI agree with muskyhunter, I would call right away next time. My brother and I were out on Silver last summer and ran into a Spokane County Sheriff Deputy. He asked us how things were going and if we had any problems with any other boaters. Fortunately everyone was behaving themselves that day but they said if we ever had ANY problems don't hesitate to call and they would be right out. He made it sound like there was not much of a "warning" they give when called out. Before I knew this, a buddy and I were out there a couple of summers ago fishing and, like you, a red/black Moomba wake board boat was out there doing the same thing and acted like he owned the whole lake. The wake boarder thought it would be funny to jump in our direction right before we were passing each other and we had to swerve to miss him. Then the rest of the evening they would come in very close and yell cuss words, flip us off, and try to swamp us. We saw them a couple more times and they still acted the same way....an A-hole to everyone else on the water. Amazing that once school started they were not on the water any more.

8/21/2012 7:27:00 AMThanks for the support guys, I was so pissed off. writing it down helped lower my blood pressure. I didn't even think of calling the cops. that would have been a smart idea but then i might have had to wait around. I didn't get the license plate or anything. I had a rubber frog on the casting rod that would have just bounced off. but keeping a big crank bait on would definitely put a hurtin on their day.
