I am not surprised by this story or others like it. This crap happens all to often. Just to balance the scales a little though, here's a story about what happened to me at willard on the 4th. I took the wife and kids out to ski,tube,wakeboard etc... and being an avid fisherman myself, I understand the frustration with "the power squadron" soooo, I set up in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE in open water and anchored out the tube (to stake my claim, so to speak) and proceeded to ski and wake board in a 1000 yard area around my tube. We had been in the same spot for about an hour just doing our thing when two "fishing" style boats motored up and started fishing about a 100 yards from my tube. No problem with me really UNTIL.... These guys started really giving ME crusty looks and rude gestures when I came near MY tube. I geuss what I'm saying is, there's plety of a-holes to go around and quite honestly, they live on both sides of the proverbial fence.
If people would just practice a little courtesy and use some common sense, there'd be a lot less frustration on the water.
