Okay, guys let me shed a little insight on this subject. Parker was fishing with me yesterday so I also got to witness the idiot jet skiers first hand. I'll explain:

The jet skiers were buzzing around the Monroe area and they were NOT fishing and I'm sure they were not fisherman by their actions. They were three of them total running in a pack and they had racing #'s on their stand up jetskis. They buzzed directly over my lines while I was plugging on anchor My lines were not more than 40 feet from my boat so you can get an idea of how close they came to me. They intentionally left the main channel to buzz around in a back channel/slough that had several bank fisherman around it and myself at the mouth in the main river. I've never seen suck a lack of respect by ANY boater......ever. I can't wait to see those idiots again so I can have a little *chat* with them about ethics

As far as the "Monster Sled" goes, that damn thing was not 22 feet long, as Parker stated, but more like 26' feet long! The wake off that thing was HUGE and I watched bank fisherman get soaked from it and it screwed us all up in my boat from 4 feet of rollers. I have learned to share the Sky with the sledders, but I'm sorry to say that this boat was just way too damn big for the area he was in. This boat was definately better suited for larger rivers.

I don't have a problem with jet skiers using their jet skis for transportation, but I do have a problem with idiots like the guys I saw yesterday so let's not turn this into a "they have a right to use the river too" thread. Jet skis, jet sleds, driftboats, and people on friggin' airmatresses can use the river all they want and it's their right.......but they do not have the right to come dangerously close to fisherman like the idiot jet skiers did yesterday.
