Most skiers and wakeboarders probably have no idea what effect their wake has on fisherman. I ran a wakeboard boat down at Deer Creek one year and let him know that running his boat 50 yds off the shore was not cool. He actually apologized and moved out into the main part of the lake. I later talked to him on the ramp, interested in how such a small boat could throw such a large wake. He explained that he had 600 gal. tanks in each side of his rig, that when filled with water gave them the ability to throw a huge wake.
I still have never had anyone explain why the best sking and boarding water is within 50 ft of the shore, especially when the whole rest of the lake is flat and calm. They don't seem to realize that when they are close to the shore, the rebound will keep things all stirred up. So explain why the narrows of any lake is the best place to ski/board ???
