Allow me one ranting tirade please
Lots of folks out on the water at Reelfoot over the past few days and the winds blew constantly, plus the water is up and folks are running faster than usual. If you've ever been there, you know that the waves get to rolling pretty quick when the wind is up. So, there are a lot of people renting boats and heading out, easily less than 1/4 of them even attempting to wear a pfd while navigating to their fishing spots. Two things made my blood boil yesterday . . . . two grown men and a boy no more than 12 head out in their rental boat yesterday and not a life jacket to be seen on this kid. Wind is blowing 12-14 mph with gusts in the 20's. Not 15 minutes after seeing this trio go by, here comes another boat with 5 young kids in it and two so-called adults. NO LIFE JACKETS and 3 of these kids were laying across the front deck. They were all younger than the first boy I saw. You know, it's one thing to be an adult and foolish, but it's something else entirely to endanger a child.

Yes, I fish like a girl. If you tried a little harder, you could too!!
