To the moronic jet skiers off Dunedin Causway
If you were one of the 70 or so jet skiers that blasted by us while we were anchored off Honeymoon Island on Saturday, thanks for reinforcing ALL of the negative stereotypes real boaters have of you. You all came up in a group and shot by us and other fisherman without caring how close you came or that most of you went well inside the no combustion motor zones on the island. I was lucky to pull anchor and move before the next wave came through. As if the noise and noxious fumes weren't enough, collision was a real possibility. We couldn't help but notice the majority of you were middle aged, bald and fat. Wow........what babe magnets you must be!
As a result of this episode, I've decided to quit assisting the idiots I've found adrift in the Gulf as a result of your own stupidity, lack of foresight and inferior boating skills. Depending on your attitude and my mood, I will relieve you of most of your money and all of your beer before offering a tow. If you're a completely entitled AH like those mentioned above, I will take a GPS reading and notify the CG of your whereabouts when I return to port. It's the decent thing to do.
If you own a jet ski, take heed, because I'm not the only one disgusted and fed up with you, and this is one local you you've thoroughly pissed off!

Hopefully one day the marine patrol will quit hassling rec. fishermen and make the waterways safer.
Spending a couple of days in Crystal River relaxing, not fishing. Rented a pontoon boat for a few hours today and noticed the serenity....not one jet ski in sight, or even speeding real boats. I guess with a speed max of 25 mph, it's not too attractive to the idiots. I'm sure the limit does not apply to the whole area, but for today, TG for the manatees.
I got soaked a few years back in CR by an idiot on a JS. I was anchored outside of the markers and he came really close and sprayed me. :banghead Yes , sometimes they are here. And local.
Solid second post. I am using your idea, I might help you, but first give me most of your money and all of your beer.
To quote Vic Dunaway, whom I respect in every sense of the word, "There ought to be a kill tournament for them"
All slow zones. They don't care. One day I am going to follow them and buzz every spot the try to fish.
