Was motoring north on the lake to fish Melvin Village area on Weds; as I slightly throttled down through the graveyard entrance some rookie in a rental pontoon behind me must have been in a rush and and past me on my left prob 200-300 yards to the left of the channel markers, I started yelling and waving my arms at him to no avail. He didnt make it far! He was soon joined by marine patrol and then towed back by another boat I'm sure his phone call to the rental company was interesting. I'm guessing "This engine is vibrating real bad" was included.
PS trolled a couple hours with not a bite; 6-7 seven colors and hardware. Saw lots of fish sipping off the top.
We live on Chase Point looking out at the Graveyard. You can't believe the people that go fast through the wrong way and not hit a thing. Whenever we're bass fishing in the real shallow water around it there is always someone that thinks just because we're there it must be safe for them to go through the same place fast. I know if I tried to run through the shallow area I would surely hit a rock.

Boater safty course covers chanle marker I think!!!
BARRY
Somehow renters are not subject to boaters safety course (bad for Marina business) they get a down and dirty quicky course before they fork over the money, lol.
Happens all the time in Squam, I see them on the wrong side on the markers, you yell at them and they don't have a clue, can ruin your day real quick.
That's too funny. I also saw a marine patrol boat hit a rock over by foley island near the long island bridge. He didn't hit it hard, he was barely moving, but ti was still funny. I do get a kick out of watching idiots who shouldn't be driving boats do dumb things and get caught. I know, that's terrible, but it still amuses me when someone goes full throttle into a rock pit because they are too impatient to go the right way!
I also love watching the mindless ruin equipment! I guess I am not the nicest of people either because of this... but boy oh boy, do I have a good laugh at this stuff from time to time!
