The boat drivers are adults that aren't allowed to fish, or at least it was this way. I had a cousin that fished them and I captained a few times. Had to be over 18 or 21, can't remember, and have proof of license and insurance.



Yes but he has kids with him in freezing waters. Lots of the adults dont know the lakes they are on, just show up and haul arse and some have hardly ever operated boats but got one cause kid wanted to participate in something they can call a sport. Its one thing of an adult gets killed but now we put kids in the boat with them. At least remove blast off and let boats start where they like 30 minutes after daybreak. Someone is making a fortune off highschool fishing just not sure who yet



You are absolutely correct on some of them knowing nothing about boats. Didn't really think it through. You saying that made me think of several boats I've sold because their kids wanted to fish high school tournaments and they had never owned one.
