I was out looking around at the shad fisherman at the falls on Sunday and saw the follwing sequence.
Notice the blockhouse on the left, it is the deadline. From what I can tell, the blue boat is as high up as you can legally fish. These Potential Nobel Prize winners move up to anchor above the deadline. They drop their anchor within 5' of the first fall. Notice the little kicker motor they are using.
So I'm thinking, no problem, this could actually improve the gene pool.
Then they decide to look for a better place to anchor and moved up about 150 yards.
I'm about tired of watching the show when our heros have a friend show up to form a "Phi Beta Kappa" hogline. Then I notice the lad in the green jersey, maybe 10 yrs old casting a spinning rod off the bow as they bob around under the falls WITH NO LIFE JACKET :shocked:
:depressed: . The kid may actually have gotten some brains from his mom and doesn't deserve to die at this early age. Made me really
If anyone out they knows these clucks, please try to imress upon them how dangerous it is to have a boat on anchor that close to the falls. I considered motoring over and giving them a life vest for the boy, but then I'd have to talk to them, and there were a bunch of boats just below them, you know, below the legal deadline.
It's just fish, don't risk your life and others, especially kids. And for goodness sake, put those kids in a life jacket!!!
