Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bantou" data-source="post: 520189" data-attributes="member: 36587">This is the exact reason that I primarily fish the lake that I do. There are two lakes near me. One is 25,000+ acres with lots of deep (80+ ft) open water for pleasure boating of all kinds. The other is 6,000+ acres, shallow (35-40ft at its deepest), and stumpy as all get out. About the only time I go to the big lake is to chase stripers or take the kids out to play on my folks' 24' toon. The big lake is full of idiots, drunks, and weekenders. The small lake is mostly locals or dedicated fishermen that still follow basic etiquette and common sense practices. We get our occasional idiot, but they either don't stick around long or get sorted out by one of the old timers.</blockquote>
