While I love to waterski in the bay, it's gotten too crazy and unsafe, and the shoreline damage continues to pile up. It's reached the point where I'd support a no-wake zone for such small areas.

It is funny how some who own lakefront want to tailor the laws and rules to fit them. The lake is a play area for ALL to enjoy. There are houses out there facing the broads that see weather a lot worse then a towboat will ever throw at 19 mile bay. My advise would be that any docks torn off by boat traffic probably needed repair anyways and it had nothing to do with boat traffic.
Shore line erosion is just a byproduct of living on a lake that draws the amount of tourists that Winni does and there is absolutely nothing that can be done to curb the erosion. Thankfully it takes a lot to get NWZ placed on the lake or all but the broads would be headway speed.
