Has Anyone Fished The Soutport Broadwater Lately?

Hi Guys
Recently I took my Dad out for a fish in the Broadwater in the tinnie, and as of that day I've come to the conclussion that it's becoming a very dangerous place and I think it's not going to be long before a major disaster will occur.
I hate to be one of those blokes that go on about the good old days, BUT when I was a kid (that's going back 40 years) you went fishing and you always came home with a feed of fish.
To give you an idea what the Broadwater is like:
There are 2 or 3 Jetski hire places + the normal jetskis running around.
All sorts of gamefish boats that seems to not care about the smaller craft.
Whale watching boats, helicopters, a float plane that lands in the middle of everything, and my favourite the Jet boats that are about 20+ft long loaded with people doing 360's all over the place.
Add to all that the Dickhead factor and you can see why you don't see many people catch a fish these days.
I don't know maybe I'm getting old and cranky :evil:
Am I alone or have others noticed this :?:
I feel better now
:)
