eagleflyfisher Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I head down to the river hoping for a bit of action. Arrive & hang out for 5 min then hear a bigger jetboat coming up river. It goes through some back channels blast up river & gets about 200 yds up & starts doing donuts for awhile. This goes on then eventually keeps going up and out of site. Quiet again & I think great their gone. 20 min later here they come again flying along probably doing 40 They head my direction and run the whole bank I'm on for 100yds about 30 ft off. I stand up so they see me and start waving them off, the river is 200 ft wide at this point. He keeps coming right at me, sun at his back, he saw me for sure then just for spite right beside me throws a shithook with the ass end of his boat and rocks me with waves. Bastards & other things I yell! He keeps going another 200 yds down, fish hooks left then right & piles it up onto a gravel bar high & dry. Stranded in the middle of the river & no possible way to shore. The boats at least 2000 pounds. They were done. So the evening went with me trying to get the RC's or fire dep too save their butts. They got a lift to shore by another boat, but theirs is still there. And I never made one cast. 1 Quote
BigFoamy Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Was this on the bow? NO JET BOATS ALLOWED!! it can only end one way Quote
bcubed Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Take their boat license number down. I don't think many realize that you can't act like a douche legally using your boat. Did anyone realize there is a 10 kph speed limit when within 30m from the bank? How bout Careless Operation. Take photos, report them to the RCMP. Done deal. 3 Quote
Sage Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I love Karma, serves them right.....and hope they enjoy their fireside chats with the RCMP, CFD and the RC. Worst part is you never got a cast out! 1 Quote
aaa Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I am sure they will go home and play with their quads while thier boat is hung up........ Quote
troutlover Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 eagle did you have your jet boat with you? Do you think they were being assholes or just showing off and ignorant to the fact that they are in fact assholes. 1 Quote
bcubed Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I'm thinking a come-along, and ive got my self a new boat...marine salvage laws...right? 3 Quote
fishinhogdaddy Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 LOL Love it! Maybe they can book a flight to visit the Polar bears in Hudsons Bay and get their boat back once the spring run-off comes. FHD 1 Quote
troutlover Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 OH MAN! That would have been sweet justice if they bumped flows over night and the boat drifted off. 1 Quote
bcubed Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 OH MAN! That would have been sweet justice if they bumped flows over night and the boat drifted off. You mean, like the fact that the rivs now at 140 from 115 yesterday? Quote
eagleflyfisher Posted May 23, 2015 Author Posted May 23, 2015 Hey that's the boat, kinda in shallow heh! Nothing around to winch off of. Maybe some jackalls & logs. Problem going backwards it's gets no deeper. I wasn't in my jet, just out for an evening stroll when they thought it was ok too piss around & blast some water at me. Quote
fishinglibin Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Sounds like they deserved it. Glad only pride was hurt and the wallet. Lol Quote
