I think sometimes people are rude, but most of the time they’re ignorant. Five years ago I never would have thought about driving safely by boats at any speed. I don’t live near the lake, so I think big lake edicate for fishing is difficult sometimes - like last year I was launching from Catawba and couldn’t even get out from the ramp for the hundreds of perch boats - am I supposed to go trolling speed all the way to south bass island? That’s about how far the boats were packed up, so I’m sorta being serious?

I get being upset by it, I do. But I also understand that if I’m close to a marina at all, somebody is going to zoom by sooner or later.
