But I must say that these wake issues is why I will boat in a Mac 26X/M or a Carolina Skiff. 12-16 inches draft. Lead the big boys onto the shoals and oyster flats when they try to wake me. Might get a Sea-Tow referral sideline set up to defray gas costs. --Vic |

No one in a big boat is going to follow you onto a shoal or oyster flat purposely trying to wake you. Eisboch |

All of a sudden, looked up one of those side channels and noticed a fisherman in a small flat bottom boat.... Oh Sh&t!!.....pulled em back but knew it was too late! As we went by, we could see that we'd sucked every last drop of water out of that side channel and this "Goodoleboy" was high and dry in the mud with his lower jaw hangin about down to his kneecaps. Bout this time the water rushed back in to fill the void and all we saw was assholes, elbows, and fishing poles flying in all kinds of directions...... Few minutes later we were overtaken by this "gentleman" from the South who had many choice words to say about our "Yankee" heritage.....worst part was that his anger became all the more incensed by the fact that we were all ready in a total fit of laughter and the more he yelled the worse our fit became!!! To this day, I'm not sure how we kept that boat in the channel till he finally gave up the chase! It would have been really funny for you if someone in his boat had drowned. Sorta raises a question though. What is the purpose of the ICW? Is it an inland waterway for boat traffic or is it a private fishing channel for locals? Eisboch Traffic cannot be expected to look up every side-channel and slow down in time if there's boats in them. They'd have to slow down for every side channel because by the time they could see small boats in them going at speed it would be too late to slow down. The burden is on the small boat fishing to keep clear of dangerous wakes coming from the ICW. Go fish someplace else. There is a rule that says fishing boats shall not impede traffic in a channel.

No one in a big boat is going to follow you onto a shoal or oyster flat purposely trying to wake you. Not that I would do it, but it's not unknown for inattentive, sheep-like drivers of boats - and autos - to follow another into a hazard. I'm not proud of it, but I did once sucker another driver into a speeding ticket. I had noticed that no matter how fast I went on a lightly traveled section of highway, some lady just insisted on passing me. I kept increasing my speed, and backed off just before the crest of a hill where I knew a state trooper often waited on the other side. He was there, waiting. Hey, I didn't force her to be doing 90mph over that hill. --Vic |

Wilbur Hubbard At some point in the Carolinas (I think South, but can't remember for sure) we came upon a large fleet of small jon boats, anchored and fishing, smack in the middle of the channel and along it's shoreline. The guy ahead of us in a trawler tried to get around them to the left and promptly ran aground. After several minutes of deliberations, I started weaving my way between the boats at idle speed on my 52' vessel. Despite this, we still got the one finger salute from many of the boats along with references to certain parts of one's anatomy. Shuda waked them. Eisboch |

Not sure if he falls under #1 or # 2. ============================ No whine before its time. One man's ripple is another man's tsunami. "Waking a smaller boat" implies an intentional malicious action, and I don't think much, if any, of that goes on. I'd be the first to call someone to task if I suspected it. That said, wakes happen. Get over it, buy a bigger boat, or stay away from where the big boys play. Geez...what an arrogant ass you are. He's a 'professional boater'..don't ya know, heads & shoulders above the common weekend recreational types. Down boy! Good puppy! Didn't WayneB tell you to clam up in another thread? It worked on JohnH and I was really hoping it would make you straighten up and fly straight. |
