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.
