jumalian, I don't know how you had that much time to count to 50...we barely missed those guys. You at least could have slid the gunnel. Twisted Evil

Seems like the wakeboat driver needs to go to safe boating class. Passing within 100 feet of a nonpowered fishing boat and overtaking a vessel from the rear on ther wrong side within 100 feet are clearly violations of USCG regulations. Unless you own the lake the boat driver and wakeboarder are at fault in this class. We (wakeboarders) don't own a "line" on the lake.

uh, that particular day, yes, we owned that portion of the lake. that was the ski course that we paid to use. also, fishermen know that they're supposed to stay near the shore.

nice try though.

I'don't make anyone wear vest and I have been upset with lots of fishermen, jetskis, and tubers for messing up the lake. It just doesn't help to "spray" them. We have a ski course that is leased from TVA. We can ask fishermen to stay out of the way and most cooperate. If they don't we have to still follow USCG regulations for safe operating distances.

i live on a river and people dont know how to drive...as a matter of fact, some guy hit my boat today cuz he was too stupid to put it in reverse... jet-skiers drove over my rope, a fisherman cussed me out cuz i threw a raley and landed like 10 feet past his boat...he felt threatened, created a disturbance, i wasnt even acting like a punk until he went out of his way to drive in front of me zig-zagging to mess up my wake... i sprayed his ass, if it were like that boat up top...looks like a slider to me, in other words, you should have slid that, would have made for a better picture

grapic, it was powered though Wink

but I do agree that following the rules is generally a pretty good Idea

Still illegal. If you "rented" it, why not talk to anyone in your way when you get ready to use the "course" just to give them a heads up? You know, common courtesy? Unsafe, poor judgement on the driver's part. IMHumbleO.

Bowen, it's cool...just let it go. i'm sure he's never once in his life committed something as illegal. Laughing

Well...nice job slamming the people who posted, you did a great job posting the background information about renting the area of the lake and the fishermen's error BEFORE you posted the picture . Without that info wtf did you expect people who actually know the boating laws to say Rolling Eyes

With all the info known, that is a definitely an awesome picture...

chipsevila · Posted: Apr 11, 2005 5:13 am Post subject:

Aside from all that, I wonder what the wake did to him...quite a roller coaster I bet

Beaver · Posted: Apr 11, 2005 6:22 am Post subject:

That would take alot to not spray him.Woulda been a sweet slider tho.

First and foremost, I don't know how you held back Joe. We would have had words with the old man at a minimum.

Second, why are fisherman crossing an IN USE ski course, EVER? Are these the same guys that walk in your putting line?

Third, USCG & CA State law is on the side of the towboat driver here. No matter which way it is sliced, the fisherman who was IN THE SKI COURSE is in the wrong. The driver with rider in tow always has the right of way, and as such, the fisherman is the one who needed to maintain the 100 foot distance from the tow boat and rider.

Lastly, if a fisherman dared to do the same in one of the ski courses in the Delta (operating under permit), they would likely get the sh*t beaten out of them. Most of the courses I have seen go out of their way to put up "Caution" signs and such.

This clown felt the sudden urge to run the slalom course as well. No respect...

vision135 · Posted: Apr 11, 2005 3:21 pm Post subject:

Its usually people yellin at me not me yellin at people. This is because I make such a big wake and there boats are getting beat up against there docks. Anybody else experience these problems.

So Chavez, just cuz someone has "the right of way" that gives them the green light to endanger people and property? Didn't ur mom ever teach you two wrongs don't make a right? Why not be the bigger man and make the right decision based on what's safe?

Bowen · Posted: Apr 11, 2005 4:36 pm Post subject:

Wow, this thread went the complete opposite way I was expecting it to.

Wake upPp, how did the towboat "endanger" anyone. IMO the person that indangered anyone was the fisherman.

Wake upPp · Soul Rider Joined: 11 Feb 2003 Posts: 338 City: NOR-CAL

Well, let see, I doubt very much that the small boat was going 24 MPH, so I would guess that the wakeboat overtook the smaller boat?? Coming up behind the smaller boat means the driver saw what was coming. The smaller boat driver probably isn't aware of what's happening behind him? So, in theory, the boat coming up in the rear has the ability to avoid the danger? Granted the fisherman is prolly "out to lunch" but on the water you've got to watch out for yourself, as well as the moron's.

What the hell is wrong with everyone? Given the information shared by those that took the picture nothing "dangerous" took place. Driving by a boat whether it is facing you or not at 24MPH is not dangerous. If you drive over the boat it is dangerous. You can not even see the wake in the picture above showing they must have been a good 15 feet away from the boat. Just because their boat is going to bounce around in the water by the wake is not dangerous. Nor is it our responsiblity to make sure their fishing trip is not disturbed by us. Especially if the tow boat was there first. And to say a person is not responsible for what is going on behind them is crazy. That fisherman better have known that boat was going to pass behind him. If a boat is going to overtake me on my right, I should know that, otherwise I would be endangering my passengers by turning right. When you drive a boat you are responsible for the 360 degrees around your boat, no matter what way you are going. I can not believe people are bashing these guys for going close to a fisherman.

I won't share the countless stories I have about having fishers endangering me, but they are far more severe then what took place in the picture above. Some people need to wake up and see that life isn't about protecting everyone else in the world and live a little.

when i go to Norris Lake in july this year, i will have to take pictures of some of the dumb fishermen we see. we were at stardust marina and some fat guy parks by our boat, which my dad likes to keep neat, clean, unscratched as possible...etc. and he was about 4 inches from hitting our boat when he came up and attempted to park. then it was bouncing right next to our boat when he went in for food and his stupid fat wife just sat there doing nothing. it was the dumbest thing i have ever seen on a lake.

Tennessee implemented a new boat license law for anyone born after December 31, 1999. My son has to pass the exam before he can drive the boat even if another adult is present. He has driven the boat for the past 3 years on a regular basis. I wasn't saying what was safe or not in approaching from the rear. I was suggesting what the law says. If you approach from the rear and your wake overturns a fishing boat you are responsible. Tennessee law also says that boat owners are responsibe for damage done by their wakes. Some land owners have started calling TWRA when they see wakeboard boats to stop erosion of their property or damage to boats or equipment at their docks.
