This is tragic! I hope they find the vessel and the motorist that did this! http://www.nj.com/passaic-county/ind...condition.html

A huge problem with boating on Hopatcong and Greenwood is these guys with big motors have no regard for nearby or anchored boats. They fly around at wide open throttle dangerously close to other boaters, usually waking the sh*t out of them in the process. Scoward and i fished Greenwood a few weeks ago and were amazed at the idiots coming full throttle in between us (spot locked) and a pleasureboater anchored no more than 100ft away from us.
During the day is bad enough, but add darkness to the equation and it's friggen scary. We've been out many times, day and night, where we've had to yell/wave/shine spotlights to quickly approaching boats, only to see them quickly change their course. Many boaters operate their boats as if they are driving a car. Unfortunately, boats don't have brakes, don't have the steering response a car has, and offers little protection incase of a crash. And as was the case in this accident, many do not observe the night time speed limits.

Anyone I've fished with on the big lakes has heard my rant on "Boater Etiquette". Most NJ boaters have very little of this and unfortunately, it leads to accidents such as this one.

Airborne??? Geez Louise think they might have been going a tad fast?

Have to make these lakes no wake. Better safe then sorry. If you want to "open it up", there's this large body of water to our east called the ocean...have fun.

Hopatcong has a speed limit of 10 MPH after sunset, I wish the police were out there when the bars close and people are flying around like it's the Indy 500.

X3 you need to have your head on a swivel at all times. I try to stick along the shorelines so one side is protected.

At skunk. The best is when they drive between 2 stopped boats and wave. I shake my head and throw them the salute. all common sense seems to go out the door.
