garpwacker you would be suprised here how many idoits are out on the water between 9:30pm to 3:30am with houses off the lake yelling hoopla'n music cranked up w/o a bit of respect for the lake residence. Most of us old timers are off the water by mid-night for the respect of the residences on the lake. Most of these residence are retired seniors, they find beer cans tossed up on their banks or piled up on their boat docks, one time a arrow was stuck into a pontoon on one of the residences boat. Respectable bowfishers dont do these things like this, specially guys of middle aged or older.
The lake residences filed a petition with the city council twice to keep us bowfishers off the lakes in their municipality because of the load noise. Twice we bowfisher sat in defending ourselves assuring these residences we would take care of the problems, that not all of us are like this, but the trouble comes from these younger bowfisherman tanked up on alocohol with make-shift bowfishing boats over loaded & their ghetto blaster cranked up.I've seen it 1st hand and others have too.
Garpwacker I can see what you do is perfectly cool, but what I've experienced and we're loosing places to fish because of these jack-off's who dont give a rats azz about respect for anyone. I like music like the next person especially my Lynyrd Skynyrd, Doc Holiday & Rebel Synicate their are boundaries and we should respect them.
