My peeve is the deal where they have the entire lake behind me, yet choose to pass between me and the point/hump I'm fishing.

Ski Boats less than 50%
Jet Skis less than 5%
Other fishermen less than 60%

on the water etiquette is a thing of the past most places these days.

I think lots of bad boatmanship comes from people that were not taught rules of the waterway and how to operate watercraft.
Compounded by the fact that 4/3 of them are apparently inebriated.

Small boaters arguing about little jet-skis.

i hate jet-skiers cause they are like mosquitoes trying to follow you around just to jump your wake.

What about all of the small boats 14'-38' that won't get out of the middle of the channel? Do they not know that a boat that has a 6' draft needs to be in the center? No, they don't. I'd say about 80 percent of boat/watercraft drivers suck and need to be educated.

My favorite story about getting along on the water involves some guys BBQing on a house boat. Joe cool and his friends thought it was funny to pull a skier close enough for him to spray them when he went by. They yelled at him and the dumbass did it again. I can't imagine how that 12-oz full bottle of beer felt when it hit him in the side.Knocked him off his skies and they had to pull him out of the water.
One way to stop that sh!t.
ETA to add: Don't screw with ole guys on the water drinking and BBQing. They ole man mean!

my grandpa was fishing the tree line on a lake one day when some fellas pretty much did the same thing. kept getting closer and closer laughing at his bumping into the trees. On the 3rd pass a full unopened bottle of beer went flying towards the head of the skier and they decided it was time to move
