Re: Dangerous Weekend Warrior Boating
Unfortunately, i can't fish during the week because of my long commute to nyc for work. So i am stuck fishing on weekends, and i only have a kayak unless i go on my father's boat. Last weekend i went on the manasquan river for fluke (i usually go to shark river or RB, but was trying to mix it up) and the boat traffic was absolutely insane. On top of that, people were being absolute idiots with their big boats. I am out there in a little kayak (in a no wake zone) trying to stay out of everyone's way (which i was). However, people see me in the kayak and purposely speed up and go flying by me no farther than 5 feet away from my kayak which had their wake crashing over the side of my kayak and almost flipped me over. Not only did they do this on purpose, but they would look back and laugh after they did it. This happened three times last weekend before i got fed up and left. I will never go back to that river again, fishing sucked anyway. I'll stick to shark river and RB. Can't believe how irresponsible people are with their boats. All of the boats that gave me trouble were non-fishing boats. Just people cruising around with bikini chicks on their boats with beers in their hands.
