I am boating in Louisiana where fisherman are everywhere, sometimes terrible places like: blind corners, or the middle of river/channel. There are not many places to water ski around here and sharing the waters seems difficult.
So, how would you pass a fisherman when someone is UP skiing? Around here there are only narrow canals and small lakes to ski, almost impossible to eliminate wake especially with all the fisherman (not commercial) setting up everywhere.
What do you think is the best choice??
1: Make as little wake as possible, and give as much room as possible while still skiing (if it's safe of course)?
2: Stop pick up the skier, get everything on board gently pass fisherman and set up again?
3: Encourage the fisherman to go somewhere that is not prime territory for skiing? (you can fish anywhere in LA, but only 1 place in a 60 or 70 mile drive around here to ski)
4: Ask the fisherman when they might be moving on so that the group can do some skiing?
5: Give up, join the fisherman and buy a fishing boat?
6: ???? Other thoughts????
Thanks in advance
