PSA: jetskiers on the Passaic last night...

[buzzbaiter]

Long story short, they passed by several times sending waves crashing to shore and basically ruining the evening for fishing. 7 fish(bass/pike) before/none after. This was in a section I can walk across its so low right now. I tell you some members of our human race really do embarrass us with their stupidity, selfishness, laziness and rudeness. Just don't get it. Being reckless is one thing, but doing it and affecting others is intolerable. I guess being a dick is in these days.

6 oz diamond jigs with treble hooks should be the lure of choice for fishing the Passaic River.

I believe I seen the very 2 jet skiers the one day I checked out the river around 2 bridges. I was pretty surprised to see them fly through like they did that day. I have a bit of a short temper, had I been fishing that day and they made a second pass like the first, my lure would have intercepted their paths. I have no tolerance for asshats.

Give it to em back and knock em the f*ck out if you ever see where they are parked........that'll teach em good.....I like the tie a rope across the river too but that could cause major problems...lol

i don't own a jet ski, but these comments don't really make sense to me. jet skis are legal to run in a river.

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.

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.
