Default Private Playground

Most of the Bassboaters that I've seen are daytrippers and don't really add much to the local economy other than their launching fee. The biggest majority of them have 150 to 250 HP 2 cycle outboards that spit out oil and unburned gas.Every year I've watched them yank female bass right off the spawning beds next to my dock.......I don't think that's very sporting....spawning bass will strike at anything to protect their nest.
I love the "private playground for shore owners" comments.......Maybe the bassboaters want to help out with our 15K plus tax bills
