Boat At My Jax Spot What Should I Do?

[AK-Jax86]

There is a nice little Jon boat at my lake that I am guessing someone who lives there left out. It was on the opposite side of the lake where the houses are, yesterday it was on my side where there are no houses. This lake has been here for atleast 12 years so I know that there are big double digits in the middle where my casts can't reach. I consistently catch 3 and 4s and pulled out 5s and 6s. An old guy who fishes there said that his buddy caught and released a 11 years ago.

I was thinking I should just use the boat. I fish there almost every day and people always see me and my car there. I have never seen the owner of the boat using it. On Saturday I saw some little kids using it, I think that's how it got to my side.

What you guys think I should do? I was also thinking about using it an leaving a note every time giving mthe guy my name and number and asking him if that is cool.

I would knock on some doors and ask if it is their boat or if they know who's boat it is.

 

Not only will you be doing the right thing, you'll likely earn some points with the people who live there and probably gain access to using the boat anyway.

 

Doing the right thing is never the wrong thing.

d**n, the ponds up in JCP are that old, I didn't realize it. The ones over in Bartram and up on Longleaf Pines/Veterans are only like 5-7 years old. Somebody done stalked your spot out LOL

I would find the owner and then kindly ask if you can borrow it from time to time.
