Yeah, I think Dave's point has been missed here. There have been bass boats run a ground just like run a bouts, so pleasure boaters do not hold a pattent on stupid. I'm with Mark, although I usually can find plenty of time to fish Cumberland's open waters in the morning, way back in the creeks for gills during the day and nights for bass. I have taken my own life in my hands by attempting to striper fish at night (ALL LIGHTS ON) and have had two different pleasure boats run so close as to take out planer boards. Otherwise, there is usually plenty of water for everyone. I'll be heading home as the rafter crowd starts showing up, more so because of parking than boat traffic.
