Thanks for your input all. It doesn't seem raise too much concern among other anglers. beathead I just figured that if some shmoe like Tim Eyeman can rattle Olympia's cage that we,as a semi-organized group of sportsman, could do the same. That State initiative thing is a mightily powerful tool.
I fish a small 36 acre lake and am stuck on shore until those anotomically un-endowed half-wits get done stroking thier egos, which is usually around dusk.
I'm not really against big motors as much as I'm against high speeds on small waters. The occasional big wakes caused by fishing boats doesn't really bother me.
Maybe we could find a comprimise. Maybe divy up the lakes that are large enough to support high speed crafts into sections. Something simmilar to American Lake, with a smal portion reserved for slow speeds(a.k.a. "little" American) Just an idea.
