I guess I should have checked with Dilbert to see if 'Harass a Fisherman" week was still going on. Everybody wanted to drive by within flippin stick distance of me. I even missed the only strike of the evening when a large wake hit me the same time the musky hit me. The wake won. Check out these pics. The small ski boat is inside of a 'no wake' zone and right next to me and the big boat with everyone looking the wrong way had a near miss with the kayak which was passing by right next to me. I had water come over the gunwale three times. What a brutal night. These were residents to.

Did you get the numbers on the boats to report that?

Welcome to my world. I live on party cove. We can barely enjoy the lake on nice days with all the chaos. I've had people drive outside the bouys and almost drive over us while we were swimming, I've even had a seadoo pile drive my boat when it was docked up and put a 6 inch hole in it. luckily above the waterline or it would of sank.

It's a one day national holiday, however, on Lake Tapps it is celebrated whenever the sun is out.

I fish lake tapps for the last time last weekend. Its the worst lake in the world for boaters respecting each other. I pulled my trolling motor sat behind the wheel and started to lower the big motor. just then i get blasted by a huge wake from one of THOSE boats right on the bouy line. In a split second im getting shoved into a dock with a boat on a lift. Quick hit the key the gas and throw it in reverse . Well the rpms to high when going into reverse not good. I barley missed the boat but the lower unit of my motor didnt make it . Its not the first time ive had things like that happen but they have all happened on that lake . NEVER AGAIN
