When I am fishing NEAR a boat lane, I prefer that if you are in a hurry to get to your spot, please feel free to fly by me as fast as you want, as that will produce the least amount of wave action for my boat. If someone is fishing IN a boat lane, I would liken that to setting up a table and your favorite chair and eating dinner in the middle of the street and then being pissed when you ended up as somebody's hood ornament. Although I understand and abide by the law of being responsible for your own wake when passing other boaters, I think it is pretty dang sorry when I see people tie one end of their boat to the boat road pole and the other end tied to their anchor that they threw across the intended boat lane just sitting there like every single boat that passes them is just ramrodding their day!. These are typically the guys that when you dont completely shut it down and crawl by them at an idle or better yet, troll by them, as to not disturb their day, they say that you are the inconsiderate a-hole. Well, isn't there a little a-hole accountability on the guys part that is planted in the middle of the boat road, acting like it is okay for him to cause every boat that comes along to detour around him, just so he can fish where he wants, irregardless of everyone else?

I believe I read there were 163 boats entered in the high school tournament and I know of at least 2 other tournaments that were going on last saturday on the pines. Do you really expect everey one of those boats to idle past you?
