Interesting Article on Wake Boats

Not at all. I haven’t carved anything into stone (yet) so there is still time for exceptions and exemptions to the collection of acceptable boaters and it feels as though your example falls into this list.

Well I'll run your jokes by him tomorrow and see what he thinks.



Please delete that crap at least the cripple part.

My goodness. I sometimes forget words hurt.

You sure, or should it be left for all to see and judge my eternal shame?

I know you don't care but was hoping to save someone some hurt. Do whatever you would like!

therefore can find little enjoyment sitting on a boat fishing like some fattie, cripple, or elderly person.

Beer really helps

Human powered is better, I guess.

I had a drift boat for a few years. Backed in fine, same as backing the camper and any other trailer Ive backed up. But I couldnt help feeling that I wasnt fat enough for the thing so I sold it.

The one thing about sitting on a boat fishing all day is that its hard not to think 'I wish I was in the mountains fishing instead of sitting on this boat all day'. I guess thats the thing -- if I knew nothing of fishing but sitting on a boat, then I might be happy with it. Unfortunately (fortunately?), Im ruined with better options (plus Im not fat and Im not all that old yet) and therefore can find little enjoyment sitting on a boat fishing like some fattie or elderly person.

If you aren't getting out & wade ng then it can be a bit boring but I appreciate being able to cover more water.

Mountain streams are awesome though. Even this fat guy fishes em.

Also, can't catch tuna in a mountain stream. Sad, I know.

I always have and always will vehemently despise recreational powerboats that serve any other purpose than fishing or hunting on public waters. A guy was ripping a power boat past me going down the St Regis river here in MT - and when he passed me, told me it wasn't illegal and called me a faggot. I don't even fish the reservoirs around Noxon and Thompson Falls anymore after a guy in a massive party pontoon boat claimed to be a special forces member and threatened to kill my dad (that was a fun call to the game warden). The situation is out of control in places. Thankfully the local lakes I fish these days are restricted to paddles electric trolling motors only for boats.

For you power boat HTers, there are some wickedly bad apples out there spoiling your bunch.

Sure it was the St.Regis and not the Clark Fork? St.Regis wouldn't float an inner tube hardly.

Can we add paddle boards to the boat hate list?

I hate wake boats the most when I am on my SUP.
I dont bother a sole.

You know where the I-90 bridge crosses the river up around mile marker 25 outside of Henderson? I was fishing under there when he came screaming by. I never did figure out where he managed to put in. A floating outfitter came by about 30 minutes later and told me he passed their raft a few miles upriver from there. We all thought that he was A) a dick, and B) absolutely insane.

Or an absolutely insane dick.
Impossible to run any kind of motorized boat in the St.Regis.
I guess someone might try, but they wont get far. It's very narrow and shallow this time of year.

I was thinking push you overboard. If you can swim of course. mtmuley

This was opening weekend year before last. It was a cold, drizzly day maybe he thought there wouldn't be many people fishing. I'm guessing he wasn't from the area.

And yeah there's no way he didn't hit the bottom at least once. I see people get up to all kinds of crazy stuff when I'm out and about and that incident ranks as highly memorable. I'd have called the game warden, because I'm pretty sure gas-powered motors aren't allowed on the St Regis, but the reception down in that river bottom is effectively non-existent in that stretch.

Correct. Maybe try and find some.

There is a very strong correlation between people who own wake boats and people who love butt love.
