Try that argument with a family that is fishing and has a boat legally go by them at 70 MP just 150' away. Try that argument with a family with kids swimming in Winter Harbor and has a boat legally go by at 70 MPH only 150' away. Speed is the issue

Try this argument with a family sitting on thier porch on Rattlesnake Island and has a boat go by them at 70MPH just 200' away. Try this argument with a family with kids swimming while in a rafting area and a boat legally goes by at 70MPH 200' away. Speed is not the issue!

I fish quite often on Winnie, and cannot remember at any time a boat going that fast, that close to me, However I have had a water skier FALL (wipeout) within 30 feet from where I was fishing on the deck of my boat, when I told the operator of the boat there is a 150" rule, they said "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO FISH ", once again SPEED is not the issue, IGNORANCE is !!! If you not a believer of this, call MARINE PATROL, they came down and spoke with them !!!
