sure, the guy's an ass if he deliberately makes multiples passes right in front of you, but if they're just passing through... suck it up.

it's no different from water skiiers on lake hopatcong, cigarette boats on raritan bay, or pleasure kayaks on splitrock res... all just part of the game of fishing.

I think the difference is that these douches seem to enjoy "waking" kayakers and other small boats. There's bad boater etiquette and then there's just plain being an ass; these guys seem to have both those checked off the list.

yeah, that's just being an *******. they probably act like that even when they aren't on jet skis. so definitely the problem is the person operating it, not the ski. unfortunately being an ******* isn't illegal...

I had issue with a jet skier on lake Hopatcong a few years back while I was behind a boat wakeboarding. He was jumping the wake 20' behind me wakeboarding, if I had fallen there's a good chance he'd have run me over. I've not been a fan of jet skiers since. Of course they're not all like that, but a lot of them can be reckless.

I seriously considered that. I'd gladly pay one of you kayak guys to string one across with a sign that says "DUCK!"


I have the same issues with ATVers who rip up some really nice areas that people like to visit such as parks, forests and state game lands. Talk about douches. The funny part is the state asks people who live adjacent to such lands to report ATV activity. HELLO its their kids and friends who are probably the ones doing it!

IDK, behaving in a way you know is wrong seems so easy to avoid yet I see it almost daily whether its drivers talking on cell phones or people throwing cigarette butts on the ground or not holding a door open for someone behind you. . Its laziness plain and simple.

just to clear things up,I do not condone violence as a solution and that can only lead to alot worse things......I was just kidding(well, sort of)..I understand your frustration completely though.......

Believe me the things I think about doing and don't have spared me criminal charges. And that just relates to fishing. As of now the worst i can do is spit on your car. So if you see a big goober on your windshield, it means you f*cked up my day of fishing :p
