Tubing in Channels/Passageways

[Barney Bear]

While not a narrow passage, we were enjoying a sunset cruise headed south between Bear Island and the mainland last evening. Our enjoyment was briefly interrupted twice by boats overtaking us at plane and not more than 100 feet away. Fortunately, our guests enjoy rock and roll.

This happens too often to be counted on any given day we are on the lake.
Giant wakes, passing less than 150' on plane, flying through NWZ's, tubers being pulled in choke points...you name it.
I don't get why these simple, common sense rules can't be observed??
Also, more often than not, the pilot is staring you down, seemingly, daring you to say/do something.

Not condoning what happened, but let's say they were 152' feet away and therefore legal, would the wake really be that much smaller? The described situation is where the 150 foot law makes little difference to the experience.
