Fishing has been decent here the last few weeks not great. The last few times we have got 6 to 10 fish in boat with lots of 2 to 3 pounders nothing over 3 in the boat. I had a friend hook a big one and it broke off his 10 pound line (i told him use 14 here). It seems the bigger fish have gone deeper..

This lake is private and a few years ago i could go out sunday amd maybe 2 other boats if any. Todayi was trying to fish and had to fight jet ski after jet ski and ski boat after ski boat. I know they pay money to live here and all but 4 could care less about fishing but i want to tell them go pleasure boat on one of the public lakes.(i wont of course). I had a good bass on earlier about 3 pounds and i was trying to horse him away from a jet ski and ski boat and lost him that was the final straw put down the pole started the motor and went home....if they go in tonight i might give it another shot...

Alan, about five years ago I was fishing on the Rappahannock River in Virginia when a speedboat towing a skier came up the river and started to do circles with the skier right by me.

 

The wake forced my boat into the grass and ruined the fishing in that area.

 

On my way to another spot farther up the river I slowed down to speak with a father and his young son on what they were catching, etc. and mentioned that I had to leave a pretty good spot due to that speedboat.

 

The father replied that the speedboat had chased him and his son from where they were fishing, too. Seems that the captain of the speedboat thought it was funny to throw a large wake at bass boaters causing them to bounce around in calm waters.

 

You will always encounter jerks on the water. It is best to leave them alone than to have a confrontation.

 

Sorry you had a unfortunate situation but it happens to all us sooner or later.

 

Tight Lines and be safe out there.

My only real issue is one guy is running with the bladder on his wakeboat inflated and you cant use then here the lake isnt big enough to handle the wakes. We did go back out this evening and it was better we got 10 or so a few 3 pounders. I was tossing a lizard on a med action rod at some boat docks and i got a fish ne is running at me so i am just cranking him in i think he is a 14 inched and am not to excited until he stops running and tail walks on the water and she was about 23 inches and full of eggs or shad and she spits the bait...i look over at my friend and his moutth is wide open at the fish he just say i just shrug my shoulders...talked to the guy across the lake he fishes 6 days a week has a 60k ranger etc said he was fishing with spider wire and sets the hook and cranks it a few times and it jumps said it was a monster then it ran hard and snapped his braded line ...
