Anyone else ready for the end of summer?

I love summer, just hate the crowded lakes. It seems like the pleasure boaters lose a little more common sense every year. I usually don't hit the lakes here on the weekends, but the weather was too nice not to last weekend. I had to wait 30 minutes to launch because a truck with a 40 foot trailer was parked in the ready lane, making everyone funnel through and back up. I had to come off plane twice on the way to my spot because jet skiiers were too busy jumping wake to watch for other boats. Then a 40+ foot cruiser came within 30 feet of me fishing. After it passed I started fishing again, forgetting about the wake, which threw me in the lake (a prime example of why I don't have guns in the boat). This was a bad day, but somewhat typical for the summers here.

I guess I am just ready for some jacket weather with the lake to myself and fellow fisherman.

LOL, you poor *******. The Falling in the lake part has ALMOST happened to me. I cant wait for the bite to get better!!

I can't wait for winter. I'm ready for FnF season again. I wish I could do that year 'round.

That's what I'm talking about. Fellas, I just found my Brother from another Mother. FNF all year long, "thats just my game". Dale Hollow, weekday, air temp in the 30's with sleet, snow, rain and wind with water temps below 50 - for whatever reason I don't see the joyboaters in these conditions.

I can put more on than I can take off ( and I have 47 pounds of titaminum and screws holding me together) bring on the 60 minus days and i am happy happy happy. Fall on barren is majical. I always said if I didnt have to work Id fish all the time. Now I have time and cant afford to fish

47 lbs? Man, I bet airports love you.
