We were on west Okoboji this past week and I was way more disgusted with the bigger boats than I was with the lake lice. There were numerous times when we were anchored up fishing a hundred yards or less from the 300' bouyies when a big boat pulling a tube would blast between us and the bouy. Several times they would loop around us and head back the other way, all within casting distance. I don't know if these fools thought their kids were safer in 20' of water instead of the 90' deep water in the middle of the lake or what. 5000 acres of water and they all have to stay in the 50 acre bays.

One night we were fishing the boulder flats in about 5' of water when a big boat buzzed between us and shore, again within casting distance and going about 10 mph over the 25 mph nightime limit. Don't know if he ever saw us or not but he got a long blast of the horn.
