We got to Government Wash around noon and there were tons of jet skis. I asked all the fisherman there how the bite was and they said it stopped as soon as all the commotion started. I set up a Carolina rig with bait and cast out figuring if its out there long enough I should catch something, 3 hours later with barley a few nibbles and having to yell and wave at every jet skier that thinks its cool to shoot down a shore line full of fishermen. I decide to hike as far away from the craziness, on the first cast with my Pop-r caught a nice striper. When I get back to camp I start to reel my bait rig in for the last time and a jet skier goes right on top of my line 5ft from shore and runs my entire spool of line out and I heard my rod make a cracking sound. Last time I go to the lake on a holiday weekend, some people just don't have any respect for our sport it seems.
