I have been out on the lake a great deal at night chasing the elusive striped bass under the light of a beautiful moon and it has been pretty productive. This is the month that things really start to wake up for fishing as the water warms back into the 50's and beyond. Last night (it was a Friday), I was amazed to find crazy boat traffic on the water not just prior to dark but after dark. The most alarming witness were jet skiers and water skiers running at night. This is crazy dangerous for a number of reasons and illegal too. I even saw what must have been a 40'+ cruiser running full speed without lights...put that combination together with either the jet skier or the water skier and it could be a really bad situation. I get calls from time to time from the sheriff department to help search and rescue using my Lowrance Structure Scan and most of the time the tragedy could have been avoided.

The fishing can be really good but keep your eyes open if you elect to do it as spring and summer will only bring out more of this behavior and with budget cuts everywhere the law enforcement patrol is few and far between.

Happy boating and successful fishing....<")))><

The only problem is your preaching to the choir. Had a bass boat pass me on the wrong side of an inside bend the other day. Stupidest thing I've seen lately.

I sent a copy of my post to DNR and asked them to forward to Forsyth county. The black 40 footer was scary!

I am putting a paint ball gun on my boat If you see a boat with yellow paint you know he got to close.

last year I had a bass boat just about run my boat over at 40 MPH around 11PM. I shined my bright spotlight at him, but still was only seconds from diving deep into the water when he swerved.

Then, he flipped me off as he went by. Meanwhile, I had all my lights going, plus the spotlight.
