RB truthfully I'd probably get run over in a float tube. We've had divers get run over here even with flags etc. Some of the boaters and jet skiers are total idiots.
Ouch. Nevermind then, safety is always first. I look forward to reading more about this new adventure of yours. Oneday I'll be there.
It gets pretty interesting around here. I know of a guy that shoots at boats that get to close with bottle rockets. Another old fart gets out a surf casting rod and starts swinging around a huge lead weight to give them the message. And my cousin was on a friends boat for the first time and asked him why he had rocks stacked in side compartments. The reply was, "I throw them at boats that get too close."
We had kid yanked off a jet ski a while back by a musky plug. The kid was harrassing the guy as he cast for musky and wouldn't get away from his boat. The guy lost his temper and of course it ended up in court.
I also know two bass fisherman that got fed up with a jet skier and chased him down until he ran out of gas in a backwater area. They both jumped out of the boat and beat the heck out of him.
The sad part is there would be an easy solution to the fisherman boater conflict but our DNR and legislators are not willing to do it. That is an idle speed limit in both the morning and evening to give an angler a chance. When I wrote an outdoor column I pushed for it and was ignored.
