The nerve of some people

After years of watching the big lake become overpopulated with people who think the lake is for their use only, I finally sold my last boat in 1996. Boating on Winnipesaukee these days is almost as much fun as driving through Boston: too many people, too much water rage and too many "Captains" who believe they are right and you are wrong.

Dear *WakeUp* your post speaks volumes about who you are

The posts by wakeboarder are not credible. He must have been on top of folks to get the reaction he did. If someone is fishing give him or her as wide a berth as possible. Why disturb the area they are fishing in? No way was the boat in the channel in Wakeboarders way. If dad was aboard it is clear what he is teaching his kid. Too bad the dad does not have more common sense the to teach his kid to throw a wake. If the son is certified then he must know that he is reposnosble for the consewquence of his wake. What if the fisherman had fallen overboard?

Please, don't think that all teenagers are are arrogant. However, looking at the original quotes, the fishermen were telling Wakeboarder to turn around and leave. If everyone was right in posting and said that he was probably a decent distance away, he could have passed them in the channel and not have done any harm. HOWEVER if he was still within the markers (I wasn't there, so I wouldn't have known), what he did was both discorteous and illegal. If not, then it was still rather rude, no matter who started the fight.

Then again, they were asking to turn around and go BACK in the channel? I don't think the actual wording pertained to that of the post, because a fisherman couldn't have said something that absurd, unless the boat was located in the Laconia/Paugus area. The argument can go either way, but will be taken with less belief if told by a teenager.

You can tell the natives of the lake from all of the out-of staters. I know because I'm one of them. I just threw that in.

Salmon? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat kind of salmon lives in the lake, might I ask?

See you all in June. It'll be good to be back.

Salmon: they give you a good fight in the spring. There is an annual event to see them run
