[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 86562, member: 437"] It was also the weekend for drownings on my home lakes. One drowned and another seriously injured when the drowning victim was thrown from his boat and entangled in a rope that somehow wrapped around his feet. No kill switch on the motor and he was drug behind the boat. The injury happened when another fisherman tried to jump in the runaway boat but was also thrown out and run over by the outboard. That happened Friday. Saturday, 3 guys swamp their boat and two of them drown in 8' of water within eyesight of the ramp. The wind was fierce here for the last three days and the lakes were extremely dangerous. Couple that with a flood of out of state boaters here for the crappie spawn that are bound and determined to not let the weather ruin their vacation. Most of them have no big water experience and no idea what happens on these lakes when the wind kicks up. It was a sad weekend. [/QUOTE]
