Is anyone annoyed or terrorized by the recreational boaters/jet skiers? What have you done to discourage them so you can fish in peace?

Well I go up to the lake every summer and I just go where there arnt many boaters. I dont want to start getting in a fight I just try to stay out of trubble. And also you cant get them all to go away alright its just not going to happen. But what I do is I wait untill night to fish and then there arnt many boaters out. So your happy cause you get to fish. and they get to boat and jet ski, sure you dont get more time fishing but fish dont really feed that much in the afternoon, so like I said you arnt going to to get every one to stop having fun boating and stuff. Its just not going to happen.

I had a great uncle that created his own special piece of tackle just for the guys on jet skis. I would guess it had over a hundred treble hooks attached to it and had a dedicated pole. When they started getting too close to his fishing boat he would do his best to snag one.

We have problems with recreational canoes. Every summer we have the aluminus flotilla hatch and the flyfishing waters get packed with them. Most are quite courteous but I have been run into a couple of times by those who were not paying attention or who couldn't steer the darn things. Best to fish early and late when the numbers are down and spend the middle of the day on a no motor lake or back at camp.

In Florida, they are all over the place. Sadly, a lot of the lakes are becoming more recreational than anything. A lot of the times, I just wave them over and ask them to keep there distance because I am fishing. Usually they keep their distance but there are sometimes where I unfortunantly have to call it in.

My son and wife and i do alot of fishing from a dock on a reservior. We get these knuckleheads (my nice word) go by at 40 mph in the no wake zone and it's enough to about make you puke when the waves catch up. It's nice for making the bobber give some action though.
