He didn't say anything more after that..........

Later we got a good laugh out of it.... The look on his face was priceless..........lol (& we don't kayak armed....)
The problem is that my place is not on the lake and getting to the lake is terrain restricted, wooded, hilly and not my property......

The annoyances are the damn motor boats, one time I had sneakered my canoe down to lake, we were fishing getting some bites about 5am when this damn boat came whipping up, the whole lake and they had to speed into our area. The wake or something disrupted the fish, didnt get any more bites.

The motor boaters, jet skiers like running the lake, skiing, because it is long and narrow this causes a lot of wash along the shore. I suspect that this may impact the amphibian populations and affects fishing. Kind of wish it would go public, I would have access and hopefully waterway rules would apply - it would go electric.

It was really nice about 2am amazing the critters that swam it then, remember seeing a raccoon and possum. One morning a beaver nearly caused us to flip when it slapped its tail just ahead of us. We had watched the movie Jason earlier and I was teasing my girlfriend - dark morning, on the lake, very quiet - then slam, she was pissed. lol
