Propeller...

You cannot catch everybody... so while the MP boat has one guy pulled over for 150' violation, 10 other violations occur. It is really not a good use of MP resources to just park a boat there. There are enough 150' violations as people enter/leave the Weirs Channel to keep them busy!

Its really a matter of maximizing your resources. When they first put in the NWZ by Bear Island the same things were said. Now it works great, 99% of the people obey it. it has done wonders to calm that little section of the lake. Although I would guess Bear Islander has seen a bit more erosion on his property due to boats getting on/off plane. The NWZ between Eagle/Governors will give those people who are nervous about boat traffic a somewhat calmer way into the Weirs.

I really don't understand why people don't like the idea? It calms a very busy section of the lake, making that passage alot safer. So what if it takes you a couple of extra minutes to go around via Pitchwood or thru the NWZ?
