The small lake I fish at has a large open area for sking and recreational boating as well. It narrows down and winds along for about a mile. I had been in the narrower channels doing some fishing and decided to move out into the bigger open part of the lake just to get some air and run the motor some. On the way out I noticed some kids jumping off a high bank into the water, it was hot so no big deal. Where they were jumping in is the narrowest part of the lake seperating the main body and the rest of the lake. The sun was in my eyes as I returned to a spot to fish not far from where the kids were jumping off.
I turned around and set the trolling motor in the water to try my luck. I heard some yelling from the kids and low and behold one of them was swimming across the narrows. I looked over at the opposite bank and there were 2 more boys were getting ready to attemp fate also. I yelled at them not to do it and they left the bank and the other kids on my side left the hill side too.
Not sure what I could have done if that kid was out in the middle of the narrows and I hit him due to the reflection on the water.
