You friend is correct. As you have probably noticed, the power sqaudron tends to boat/ski/play/harass anglers in the same time/place/way as they unkowningly do the fish. The fish are aware of thier presence as well, and attempt to get away from them, but with the lake being as shallow as it is, the options for the fish are quite limited. Go to where there are no power boats and that's where you'll find the fish - to the chagrin of most of the anglers, that happens to be in the "less populated with boats/skiiers/PWC operators" middle - about where most of us would think that the power boaters should be - instead of in our laps over the "normal" fishing holes or between us(usually closer than 150 feet) and the bank. However, I have to add the caveat that I have caught a number of really nice fish right underneath and inspite of some power boaters and skiiers - don't ask, I have no clue as to why that would happen. Mostly though, I seem to catch more and bigger fish when I am relatively far away from the wakeboard and bikini babe boombox boats.

BTW - turn down the tunes - I hate that song and I can't hear myself sing.
