Fishermen Be Careful

Pineedles · 07-29-2008, 10:11 AM

I was speaking with my cousin this morning regarding his slightly deflated water trampoline. He told me that he has to pump it up weekly due to small holes that have been caused by fishermen casting their hooks too close to the trampoline. He said that fish like to congregate under anything on the water and that leads some fishermen to try and cast their lines under the trampoline. We along the shore don't mind people coming in close to fish, but please be careful of other people's property.

Have you explored the possibility that it may be a neighbor shooting it with a pellet gun because the think it isn't the nicest thing they have to stare at on the lake?

Coolbreeze, you sound as if you might have some experience in this area.

No, I've got shakey hands and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

Nope, double entry holes at the site of penetration, with a visible tearing, and no exit hole parallel to the shore. Besides, Im the only one who owns a gun in the neighborhood and my hands are pretty steady.
