I've only been to fork once... Only time I've ran boat lanes. So what is the right and wrong side of the buoys to run?

and if the bouys are way off should the SRA re-position them to where they are suppose to be for safety issues.

Do you feel this is actually an error? I feel that guys running $50,000+ bass boats on Fork must know which side of the buoys to run on, but they choose to drive wherever they want. I could be wrong and have thought about turning around and asking some folks but have a feeling how that might turn out.

I know I plan to be very defensive and observant in driving on Fork for the upcoming Skeeter Owners. I'm being taken outta my element for this tourney. I like nice, quiet weekdays to go fishing. Gonna spread and my wings and crash in this one...I mean cash!

I'm 63 and have had a bass boat since the early 80''s (they wouldn't run 70mph back then) and just took a free boater safety course on line. Took me about 3 hrs actual course time over 4 or 5 days. Don't necessarily think it will prevent me being in an accident but I learned some things I did not know. Course covered a bunch of stuff you may never need but is time well invested. We never get too old or too smart to learn. However, nothing will replace being alert and careful watching out for others.

Could have been mechanical issues, could have been operator error. Either way it's a good thing they ain't dragging for bodies.

The buoys south of 515 east have moved east really close to the timber just south of the bridge. When the water goes down be careful running on the east side of them (right side of them going north). I do not run to the right of the buoys going north there.

Mouth of Williams has some big stumps right by buoy marked by orange buoys.

I tend to run to the right of the buoys when possible as I know people treat them like a center dividing line but I seldom run the buoys at all south of 515 west and 154.

All need to follow right of way rules regardless if near the lane marker buoys or not .......
