PhishPhreak, no i'm not against motors. I have one one my 16ft but i hate that the regs say i now can't fish all the lakes i fished when i was a kid because of a motor on my boat. I think a bag over the motor and plugging the fuel vents would work just fine. I wash my motor and fuel vents and fish these lakes sometimes. My motor never touches the water. I don't see what's wrong with that. It's everything else i see, is what bothers me, like a bald eagle at angle lake with fishing line wrapped around it's leg,sad. And keeping a limit is fine. But keeping every living thing isn't. Why ruin what makes you happy? Why keep everything? That just ensures that there will never be any big fish in numbers. I do see alot of people with there motors in the lake on a restricted lake and still trolling with their electric. That's plain dumb. And they ALWAYS have a fuel slick around them. Just ignorance and disrespect for the environment that they expect to produce them a "good day" of fishing. "THEY" may include me to a degree because i have dissagreed with the law that affects all of us but atleast i care about the environment enough to take the steps to make sure i leave it cleaner than the way i found it. Sorry if i sounded all pissy but it's hard to express this concern without seeming like i'm yelling it at everyone.LOL It's just sad we are limited by other peoples careless actions.
