Thanks to all for the good suggestions... I don't think the bees are in a hatch area, I think they are above the gas tank between the two live wells.. There is an inspection plate there, but good golly I sure would hate to pull an inspection plate off and confront a hive of bees/yellowjackets/whatever... I am going fishing this week come hell or high water. the bass are bustin on Lake Lanier and I want my share. .

How can I tell what they are? They sure look like yellow jackets to the untrained eye. .

hey, hey hey..... she's a fisherwoman... While in Florida a guide called her my Snookstress. She will not bait a hook with a bee. .

I live near Atlanta, Georgia and Jellow Jackets have invaded my Triton! I uncovered the boat to add some oil before going fishing this week and was confronted by MANY angry Yellow Jackets (not the Georgia Tech kind) crawling and flying out from behind the bulkhead that is behind the gas tank. Yes I did have the drain plug out, yes it was covered and sitting out for a month or two while I got married, went on a honeymoon and also went to San Francisco to vacation. But now I have bees. I am afraid to put a bug bomb under my fantastic boat cover and set it off as I don't know what it would do to my fiberglass or my fancy dash and other plastic? I put a bowl of wasp/hornet stuff down in the battery well with a paper towel in it and it seems like some of them have died but ................ I just cannot picture being out on the lake with an onboard hive of Yellow Jackets.. So what do I do? Someone suggested slightly opening up all of the compartments and driving around hoping that the bees will fly out and be gone, but will ALL of them fly out? I don't want one left. .

The correct term is "hook 'em and cook 'em".... Not Catch and Keep.... : .
