I only use it when we don't have any fishing buddies out with us...if it's just the kids, husband and me. I'm sure I've been spotted by other boats on occassion 'cause you're always keeping your eyes on the other boats (with binoculars) to see who's getting hits but what I don't know doesn't hurt me. When we have friends on the boat there's no choice but to hold it or go for a swim! LOL
LOL that reminds me of this time my gf and I were out nude sunbathing on mine. We just climbed up onto the tanning pad on the bow when this ass in a jet ski started buzzing around checking out my gf (yeah, she was hot).
He slowed and came REALLY close so I yelled at him to fuck off...he replied: it's a free lake. So I went down to the helm and got my flare gun....fired one at him....he got the message.....DOH.....
We boaters had a signal set up:
We'd run a bikini top up the VHF antenna, that meant "stay away"
If we ran two up there, that meant "come on over, we're having an orgy" lol.....
I remember one time I had 4 or 5 up there, man was I popular that day lol.....
