airboats suck on a nice fishing river .period

You below Whitney?

I would bet that he's on Whitney!

it wouldnt suprise me. i know of three local guys that airboat down there, & i know there's more than them that go.

yea i wasbelow whitney ,sorry to sound so negative but was looking to fish ,the noise was bad enough and then you have the muddy water from all the air boats,i have seen post from other people on this sight that said the airboats did not bother them ,i guess if you like airboats chasing you away right when your in a good spot ,the noise ,and the mud,then i guess it would not bother you ,ill go back to my below pk area from now on 10-4

"chasing you away"? sounds like there must have been a real prick out there. Every air boat operator I have encountered out there has been have been courteous and responsible. How many boats were out there?

The noise is ridiculous and it's a huge burden but it's life below Whitney. Seems like there are more fish than airboats so I could care less.

Eh. They don't bother me. Last time I was below Whitney, two were putting around up and down the river. it's a big river-let them have their fun.

Last Summer I was down below PK and the GWs came down in an airboat. It was plenty loud, I could hear them a a long ways before they got anywhere near. They stopped to check my buddy a couple of hundred yards upstream from me and when they turned their engine off it sounded like a rifle shot. When they checked me they didn't bother to turn the engine off. Blew sand and stuff all over the place. When they stopped downstream again it sounded like a rifle shot. The really stupid thing about this was that 2 guys in a PB went right by them with about 15 big black bass (well over the limit of 5 each).
I don't like the smell of PBs, would not hurt my feelings to see all PBs prohibited from the Brazos.

I have seen em below PK also, bowfishing. Very loud and enough lights going to light up a football field! You can hear every word they say from a half mile away because they have to scream to hear each other over the motor! We were fishing a deep hole out of a canoe and they respected our spot and moved to the far edge and went right on by.

I saw them numerous times last year about this time last year below P.K. Funny thing is though I would watchthem and they kept showing me all the good bass holes without even knowing it. They seem all right to me, looks like a good way to get around the river really.

i honestly would love to have an airboat. I think they'd be really nice for river fishing

they would be even nicer melted down

an electric airboat a'd still be a problem, as even the prop is noisy...

Personally - I'd like 'em better if they stopped and served up some delicious, hot, crispy spicy and salty fried chicken, as it is close to noon, and I am quite hungry.

Plus, I say, whoever wouldn't like a friendly snack from a generous and rowdy "CHICKEN TIME !!" airboat crew, them's is just one of the haters, ( or a Republican ) and I'd be surprised to find anything to please' em. Except perhaps lonliness.

airboats rule!
