Last fall I was fishing at Deer Creek in 12 - 15 ft of water. I had been searchin for the walley's and finally found them after hours of searching. I had made three or four passes and had dropped a buoy because I didn't have my lowrance gps yet. Some jag off came zinging past me in between the shore and the buoy and my boat. He couldn't have been in 4-5 ft of water, I was trolling and really wished I had a heavy ratltrap on as I could have easily snagged mysef a skier. If that guy would have fallen I can't imagine he wouldn't have hit the bottom of the lake. Amazing thing is he kept running around areas where I know were extremely shallow as well. I had fished those areas and marked the depth at about 6 feet and less in some spots it looked like he was flying over. I'm amazed more water skiers don't die here. The worst part is his idiotic full throttle pass shut the eyes off totally.
