friend got a ticket

yea almost hit a houseboat in the middle of cumberland one night. no lights on it at all. so i stoped blowed the horn cussed them for a while then went on to fishing.

I fish for them in the spring close to the bank and I leave my anchor light on. I can't say I do any worse than the next guy. BUT, fishing this time of year, which means off the bank and in plane waters without lights is way not smart on so many levels. For one thing, the fish aren't gonna care when they are 30 ft or more down.

i have almost hit a boat on the river because no lights were on. but , it wasnt the other boaters faught nor mine just a bit of bad luck for him. he had locked through Mcalpine from coxes park and his battery bit the dust so he was glad to see us at 3am since he had been there since 6pm the previous evening. we towed him across the river to middle creek boat ramp (111 ramp) let him use a cell phone and his freinfd picked his truck and trailer up and came and got him.

i always run the directional lights and the white anchor light and usally have on a hat light that has a setting that blinks. i have always felt you have to be more aware of the other boaters incase they are not being careful.

The reason I have not almost ran over people with no lights on is because I have headlights on my boat(also a ticketable offense).
