With all the big tourneys coming up at Fork everyone please be safe and know the general boating rules. A couple just died in a boating accident in Viginia. If anyone can post the Wired to Fish general Boaters guide, please put the link up. When in doubt just SLOW down trust yourself and not others. I've hit a jet skier before and he's lucky he's not dead. No joking matter. Be safe everyone.

+1 Texas needs to have a mandatory boaters class and license as some other states have.

Yes be safe. It will be Crazy on Toledo Bend this weekend with that Big of event and that place is bad enough keeping up with the buoys , not counting 5000 boats running around trying to win a Truck/Boat combo. Be careful out there

I just want people to be aware. I know how quick things can happen. Everyone be safe on the drive in all this nasty weather and be safe in your time on the water. Things can happen fast on the water when going 60+ mph. Especially going head on.
