now all of this would suck.. in a tube or a toon.. it would suck that an ignorant person in a boat would do something stupid like this.. I have seen boaters do some crazy stuff on local waters.. not the least of which is doing a bunch of high speed ovals in the center of the lake.. creating a long series of waves to come in.... but do have one question..
if I remember right, USCG regs require that a tube have at least 120 sq in of safety orange showing above the water line.. is that enough to make sure these idiots see you clearly enough?? I would think being up higher on a toon wold be easier and youd be more visible.. in which case Im guessing the boater is just being ignorant and getting up close to take over your spot..
.. now my last question is.. dont boats have registration numbers on them.. if so.. cant you copy them down and report them to the local and or state fish and game authorities..???
