Not very impressed with the owner of the (SKAGIT SLAYER) painted on there boat.Never seen anyone I new that needed a gas motor to pull plugs (on the duc).Then they blow by me while I was fishing my hole with there motor wide open going DOWN STREAM with a wake big enough to rock my boat.Didn't think this was even legal? NEXT I SEE HIM WE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS.

I watched him grind down the lower end of the bogey a few weeks back. I share your thoughts, was nearly washed into the bushes by his wake.

It's caught the attention of many out this way. While legal, it's certainly inappropriate and not very welcome.

I have a feeling that before long, he'll get some subtle hints \:\)

Was this a drift boat with a kicker motor on it or a full blown sled?

just because you disagree with his boat being there?
it's not illegal
you messing with his gear?

Well stated fuzz.

I wouldn't run a sled up there either, thats just me though.

I bet most people don't have the sack for the kind of action they imply anyhow.

I guess time will tell.

The guy has every right to use a motor whether I/ we agree with it or not. The problem is it seems his reason for using the motor is so he can win boat races. A couple of weeks ago I dropped down from the upper river to find this guy in the Tall Timbers hole. It was fairly late in the day and except for a few bankies there wasn't anyone around except our boat and his. As soon as he saw me coming he hit the power trim and electric start and took off for the tail Crescent. What really ticked me off was that he motored right down through the slots. We passed him while he was pulling plugs in the Crescent hole and went on down. He passed us again in the Ice Box hole doing about 15 knots. To go through the riffle below there he killed the motor and hit the power trim. Once through the riffle he started her back up and hit the throttle. When we came around the corner where we could see the bridge he was just getting ready to let the plugs out under it. It was like the blood in our boat hit boiling point because we all began yelling for him to get oout of the hole at the same time. He took off immediately and we didn't see him again. Like I said before, if he wants to use a motor- fine but use some common courtesy and realize that guys are watching him. I personally wouldn't engage in vandalizing his belongings. However, if it happens again he might engage himself in a game of 'hungry hippo' with pencil lead coming his way...maybe pyramid sinkers

sky # er:

There were a number of ways you could have responded on this thread...and the comments in your post, above...were definately in the "Things not to say" column.

Didya know the owner of this site is one of the guides on that river???

You would have been far better off to say: "Gosh guys...I think that is my neighbor's boat...didn't mean to upset anyone. We'll be more careful from now on."

Ever hear of the "Eternal Law of Retribution"?

Sooner or later, IF someone (you?) is trashing the peacefulness of that river, and harassing other driftboaters...and your in a powerboat...you and your buddy will get your just desserts...it never fails. No one has to do anything to you...sooner or later you'll do it to yourself.

Adios.

Mike B

p.s. Be sure to wear a PFD out there...

sky # er. While I don't agree with Sleds on OlyPen rivers, you do have the right to be there. The problem you just created for yourself and your friend is that some people will now think twice about jumping in to help you should you encounter trouble on the river. There are some very good people on this board, some of us do get opinionated at times, but still, people who can save your arse should you encounter trouble on the river. You may want to treat them decently for your own sake.

Things like this always seem to work themsleves out. More than likely it will favor the majority, it always does.
