Free: Contests & Raffles.
I am always careful around the Lowell and Snohomish launches. For many years I toted my 12 foot aluminum in the back of my truck, carried it down to the river, then my battery, then my 27# thrust Minn Cota, then my tackle, life jacket, net........I have had big azz fiber glass boats blast past me almost swamping me on more than one occasion. I'm always cognizant of the little guy's because that was me for many years. Yes there are a lot of rude MFer's out there, but there are also people that don't understand the physics involved with water displacement at various speeds. They also don't understand why someone with a nice boat would want to fish in the river. It's fun, that's why! Now get out there and catch some fish and stop complaining about things that you can't do anything about. Everyone has the same goal, to put some fish on the table. People piss me off every time I go out on the river, but I still go. Just go with the understanding that there are going to be fishtards out there. Tight lines everyone, smile and be happy that you're smarter than the average dummy.
