Well I guess I have to give my two cents here. I have seen the lack of courtesey on all fronts, nonfishermen, tournament fishermen, anti-tournament fishermen, ski-doos and them all.
Nonfishermen generally show a lack of respect due to ignorance (not stupidity). They just don't take the time to learn rules of the water, and generally somebody that can afford a yacht has stepped on a few people in the pastemoBigsmile. Tournament fishermen sometime lose focus of the sport by getting in a hurry and cutting somebody off. I also think that the HORSEPOWER of a bass boat should not exceed the IQ. Anti-tournament fishermen usually have been in contact with a bad apple and tries to take it out on the rest of them by doing things for spite. Ski-doos, can't explain those peopleemoScratch
Here's is one thing that I truly beleive in though and should be brought in front of the proper officials. I never realized how much damage that the large yachts cause to the shorelines until i have begun to notice severe erosion on the shoreline after a new marina was constructed.
I feel that the large boats should have to pay additional taxes. Some of these yachts have no business being within inland waterways. The additional funds generated should go toward revegetation of the shorelines and stabilization.
