Try to keep a rod handy with a 4oz. sinker and some spectra for the prop. Sometimes just lifting your VHF up to your mouth is good enough to get them to adjust course. Unfortunately, some of the same morons that drive on the freeways like their own private race courses own boats too.

Take a pic of their CF # or, better yet, a video of them buzzing you. Call harbor patrol/lifeguard & report.
Unfortunately all it takes to operate a boat is a checkbook |

every time I fish Dana Point, this seems to happen to me..somtimes its a jetski or pb..
keep the same paint ball gun for seals handy.. & also pack a handful of rock hard frozen paint balls in your lunch cooler.. & this is another reason to sharpen your surface skills,... but use a 7 oz yoyo jig to the dome piece instead... & a flare gun shot directly into his cabin works wonders also.......... |

Yes unfortunately, the butt wipes of the world, too, happen to own pb's and
jet skis, and some happen to be affiliated with MLPA,, and think it is funny to see just how much they can f#@K with the yakers. I have owned both large and small boats, attained certifications for the big boats, safety classes and all that, I have even towed people from the islands due to lack of "vessel assist" or brain matter one of the two, but never have I messed with people like I have seen and heard of. I also have witnessed a yaker throwin a water bottle at a pber because the boat had made two passes between the shore and the yaker, harbor patrol agreed with the yaker retaliation but informed him that it was the harbor patrol's job to take care of the "jack hole" in the boat not his. I myself have been messed with mostly in Dana Point, which is one of my favorite fishing spots, there really isn't any reason for it, but is there any reason for any of them? I guess the answer here is a resounding yes, depending on who you are talking to, I guess we are the target, at least in these waters....b |

Sting time
Let's find the worst area and assist the Harbor patrol with a Sting. They do it at cross walks, why not in the harbors. Harbor patrol would love the stats!

Yes, just a few weeks ago, I was coming back into Marina Del Rey, and this Idiot zooms 10 feet away in his motorized raft throws me a huge a wake and I flipped. Next time ill have a video camera too.

We can only hope that these same schmucks get theirs when someone equally or more rude/inconsiderate crosses their path.

Remeber, by law any wake that a boater creates they are completely responisible for any damage or injuries it causes. If a boater flips you due to the wake they created... you can sue them. |

That is good to know, now that most of us carry cameras with us it shouldn't be too difficult to record issues that may happen. My trips out on SD Bay have been good training for me I guess. The last two times out I've had to react quickly to some huge wakes being kicked up.

Some of those rafts have bigger motors than that but if a wake or wave hits you the wrong way it won't take much to roll you.

thanks for the education on boat wakes and what damage they can do to a kayak...I'll be on the lookout for wakes next time I'm on sd bay(in the kayak).Would not want to lose all my gear because some a-hole boater's wake rolled me!
