Here is a good breakdown on the proposals from the Statesman.com. The comments are unbelieveable by a number of the uninformed that don't realize this is one of many steps to control our lives by the Government.
Needless to say, I'm completely against shutting down the far east end of the lake to everything. That is one of the best bass fishing areas on the lake.
By limiting the waterskiing etc to the west end of the lake will end up killing someone with the small area provided and then they would end up outlawing it and there would go the rest of boating on the lake.
The no-wake zones are too extensive and it would be at the discretion of the sheriff on what is an actual no wake. IOW, ticket writing bonanza. I would much rather see a speed limit of 25MPH. The high winds on that lake do more damage than any boat wake would ever do.
I also don't like the idea of no lead but could live with it. My question is, do you have to take all of your lead gear out of the boat when fishing there even tho your not using it. IOW, a search of your boat would result in a ticket.
I don't like the idea of watching over my shoulder every minute on the lake, waiting for the sheriff to pull up and ticket me for his interpretation of the law that is different from mine.
The
thing is that this is the best bass fishing lake in the SW part of the state that is close to home. It reminds me of the SE part of the US with the trees and smartweed (our version of lilypads) and the challenge of catching a bass in it.
