Today while fishing running creek in lake fork, we heard gun shots (.22 assuming). As we kept creeping the bank down the bend, we heard a shot or 2 go over us. We yelled loudly "hey" to alert them were there. Another goes above us, so we rev the egine once in hope they hear us. A pause for a min and then a much louder gun shot. We were worried and were packing up when a bullet hits the water 10 feet behind the boat and then another 30 or more behind us in the water. I say " those hit behind the boat" my friend started to pull up the trolling motor when one flew right near me or over me, clear as day. I ducked for the what ever time and said we gotta go. We turned around and no more shots. Two other boats said the same thing happened to them, this was 2 hours later (we figured the shooter would of left sooner or later so we went back). One said they heard no shots till one went right over them. Be careful out there.

As already been stated above, the Game Warden and Sheriff's Department both need to be contacted and a report filed. Law Enforcement can then make the extra patrols in the area. Also if there were other reports made and the situation continues law enforcement can take more aggressive tactics. Glad no one was hurt!

I can't believe Kurt or Derek didn't come a running when you called!
