Traffic Jam
June, 2003
Have you tried to fish the main channel going through the Great South Bay lately... what the hell is this nightmare all about?
Fishing with Joey X, I was manuevering around 40 foot wanna be yacht owners doing 40 knots threw the channel going no where. We fishermen need bazookas to blow these idiots away. They're throwing a four foot wake. There were a few times that I almost had a heart attack manuevering in and out trying to keep from getting swamped.
Please help me understand a 50 foot bayliner... what is the point of these people. I've got it, it's a winebago on the water, right? Those people are actually going somewhere. These creatures are pleasure cruising. Enjoying the great outdoors in their hush puppies and alligator shirts. Drinking gin and tonics by the gallon... never had a boat lesson in their lives. Driving a baby ship around human dingies. High as a kite, going back and forth in the bays. They never go in the ocean... no wabbit...that would be scarey... we'd get lost. Blowing 60 gallons of gas, how environmentally aware are these people?
By the way these are the people who are for all of the fishing regulations. "Betty those fishermen are such a problem, can you call your husband and see what you can do about them."
They're like the people who get four wheel drive permits, then put up camp with zebco rods and reels and say they're fishing. Then when you go to throw your line out, they're screaming at you, "Hey buddy this is our spot, you're in the way of the volleyball net." A-OK dude, sorry guy, I know I went off the subject but it crept in my mind.
Back to the psychos in really bad shirts. While they sink your boat, they're waving at you. "Daddy you just sunk those fishermen over there." "Oh kids, they're just playing sink the boat, don't mind them, they're so silly."
