At least most at strawberry are a trolling speed. A few power rightbthrough the fishing craft at full tilt.
I don’t understand why the rule in plain English is not posted at all entrances and Ramps. It could be printed on receipts, and when there is a person at the entrance, they should tell every vehicle towing a boat of the rule. I short order at least everyone would know the rule. Many have no clue as to the rule and don’t think they are doing anything wrong. Several times the other day I had boats on full wakeboard wakes, way too close for safety sake, less than 150 feet and they just
d and happily waved as they powered right by clueless as we braved for a rocking ride and even on one wake took a bit of water over the bow!!
HERES THE RULE
There is a speed limiT on The WaTer?
A wakeless or idle speed is required when oper- ating a boat in a designated slow, wakeless speed area and within 150 feet of another boat, person in the water, a water skier (except those you are towing), shore angler, launch ramp, dock or designated swim- ming area. You are responsible for any injury or dam- age caused by your boat’s wake. Be courteous and give others plenty of room.
It could be shortened to:
IT IS ILLEGAL TO OPERATE YOUR BOAT ABOVE WAKELESS
SPEED WITHIN 150 of ANOTHER BOAT, SHORE ANGLER, RAMP, DOCK AND AREAS LABELED WAKELESS!!! TICKETS WILL BE ISSUED!!
I saw a sign a few years back at a ramp that said speed proximity rule enforced!!
I’m Sure most were clueless as to what that meant!! Waste of paint and sign!!
Typical government!! Spell it out, communicate it clearly and ENFORCE IT
AFTER A WHILE IT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Costly tickets are a deterrent!!
MY OPINION JUST My two cents worth
ALL ARE ENTITLED TO USE THE RESOURCE BUT SAFELY, LEGALLY AND RESPONSIBLY !
Follow the rules!
