Default Pleasure Boat Traffic

I won a tournament last weekend by fishing right in the heart of
middle-of-the-day weekend insanity on one of NJ's most crowded lakes. I

was
being buzzed constantly by jet skis, water skiers & pleasure boats. The
point being that the fish were totally unaffected by the human activity.

I
reasoned that life must go on, and that these fish were acclimated to the
blender-like waters. I'm tellin ya, I was right in it - my boat was

rockin
& rollin & there was no wind. In fact it was at 4 PM on a hot & sunny
Saturday. Amazing. My rider & I had 13 good keepers in that stuff. The
fish actually seemed "active" despite props flying overhead every minute

or
so. Just proves that an open mind can be your best asset.

Tite Lines!

Congrats on the win Warren. And I can attest, busy waters don't seem to
affect the fish, only the fishermen. I'm with you in thinking the fish are
just "used to" all the human traffic, their life must go on, they must feed
or perish.
