Public Safety report and a comment

I can relate to the statement regarding courtesy to fishermen on the lake. Three times yesterday between six thirty and seven thirty power boats came within twenty five feet of our boat as we fished and they were going full speed. One was going about ten feet from the buoys. That boat came by us twice. Dangerous and discourteous to those enjoying a quiet evening fishing from a boat.
