Got deliberately knocked out of my boat by 2 jet skis.

[bass-pirate]

Its a real shame that only a few that use the dam at any given time actually have any common sense. the amoun tof times I have seen skiers and wakeboarders driving flat stick within 10-20 m from shore is astounding. Would be nice if they shared the dam , but that will never happen.


Mate if you happen to ever see them again and I am on the dam, I own a blue nitro nx750, then come on over and grab me. Might even be able to tee up a fishing session one weekend when you are free if you want?

Cheers

For sure mate, i would be very keen for sesh. I Dont think i will have any trouble recognising you, i would recognise a sexy boat like that from a mile away haha. It isnt white with metallic blue by any chance? I went past a car towing what im pretty sure was a blue and white nitro heading in the dams direction approx 3 weekends ago when i was leaving. If only i found jet skis as appealing for the eye's, would have had a very accurate description then no doubt

Edit. I jut realised you already said it was blue, so yea it would have been you lol

in a post here some time back i had told of the same kind of thing happening to me in the Logan river, i was in a brand new tinnie running in a new moter not on the plain and i got drown as buckets of water was sprayed all in the boat i know how you feel mate, all we can do is report this type fool to the police.

Hey guy's,

Went out to Maroon Dam today, have been heading out there at least once a week for the last couple of months as the fishing has been quite good. Get there and there are trailers parked everywhere, quite unusual for maroon. Fishing was very quiet only landed one.

Anyway at about 5pm a jet ski comes flying past me about 30 meters away, as he comes around a second time i look at him giving him a dis approval glance to kind of say can you keep away (by now there is no-one else on the dam so he has the whole dam to himself). About 15 minutes later 2 jet skis come flying past me within about 5 meters of my boat (one of them is the guy that came past the first time), they then turn around, and start doing laps of my boat laughing and absolutely spraying the sh!t out of me until the point where its that choppy that i fall out, they then persist to do a couple more laps of me spraying me with water and laughing before they piss off whilst im trying to swim towards my boat to climb back in. I had my new daiwa pixy with samurai reaction baitcaster outfit in my hand that i just about lost and was lucky to hold on to. I am absolutley amazed and sit for 15 minutes before i decide to go to the ramp and go home as im soking wet. I have never met these two #######s in my whole entire life. they had no reason whatsoever to do this to me. Obviously i was vulnerable as i was at the dam by myself and they were in a group. Cant believe this happend, it was so random and out of the blue. I was unable to get rego details as it all happened too quick. What would you guys do in my situation? I know there is nothing i can do about it but this is ridiculous, has anyone else had anything like this ever happen to them? these guys looked to be mid 20's, just wish there was some way of getting back at them. These are the kind of people that go out at night and beat someone to within an inch of there life simply because they can. Absolute scum. I am never going fishing by myself again, i am sure that is the only reason they did it. I now have a perferated ear drum from water that came off the back of one of the skis and a badly bruised leg from when i hit it on the side as i fell out.

There is nothing i can really do is there?

I dont agree with the treatment you got !!... but highlighted above would not have helped.

Precisely, im quite certain that if i had not of looked at them it would not have happened. At the same time though, they were breaking the law and at my expense (im pretty sure the law is 6 knots when on a ski if within 60 or 100 meters of another vessel or soemthing?) Even i think that is a bit extreme as they would be constantly slowing down all the time, but These guys were way too close to begin with and this is what made me annoyed in the first place. I estimate they would have been doing between 80 and 100kms an hour the first couple of times they came past and they were well within casting range. That is simply not on. I only looked at them to kind of say go away. Either way though im regretting doing it because of the outcome. I think they were more looking for an excuse to piss someone off and they got one.

And yea Hilly, i dont know what is wrong with these nobs, clearly just simply riding there skis isnt enough fun for them. If there bored maybe they should go to the coast and play on the bar. not annoy people who are minding there own business

[bushweek]

absolute scum, your exactly right they would be the kind of people that go looking for fights just to make themselves feel "big" probably didnt even pass grade 4 by the sounds of them, just scum.

i know you guys on here might dissaprove, but to idiots like this i would of pulled out the old ball sinker and yer, you know where it goes from here.

These are the type of people we go out fishing to get away from. bloody scumbags. It Might pay to keep a brick or massive sinker.with rope tied to it in the boat and if this happens again. swing it like crazy. We shouldn't have to deal with people like this when where fishing.

[gav73]

Hey Bass Pirate if the horse throws ya get straight back on, I wouldn't be shying away from what you like doing just because a pair of wankers. Report it and keep on fishn .

I can't agree with that Scott. If some clowns come blasting past me at 30m I certainly aren't going to be smiling at them. The young fella here cast them a disapproving glance. Not flipped them a bird, gave them a serve nor brown eyed them. His reaction is what 99% of us would do in the same situation. His reaction is not at fault, theirs is.

Fair call Steve . I know myself some people can say a lot with out actually speaking. As we all know the dams are for everyone (fisherpoeple ,skiers ,jet skiers and who ever else wants to be there) I would have turned my back and ignored them and they probably would have gone away. Everyone is out for a bit of fun and if you are alone and give a bit of sarcasum to a groop , you are testing the boundaries in this day and age .
As I said I don't approve of the treatment bass pirate got but its the real world out there.

Scott

PS It would have been good to jam a load of coarse salt into their ribs with a 12 bore !! ..... sorry !!

Dont tar all skiers with the same brush mate, alot of them are fishos too and respect people who are fishing.
On the other hand these clowns need a snapper head chucked at them

Waste of time reporting it, not worth feeling victimised twice IMO, even if you had rego etc it would in the end go nowhere and make no difference within the circumstance in your original post.

A half interested curiosity mixed with just another problem (to them) person is about the best case you will achieve.

[adriene]

These guys are gutless dirtbags. i know how you feel, i went out for a fish before behind pac fair before. Minding my own business and these teens started throwing their drinks at me from the roof top and laughing.
