Sound like our immigration laws...LOL!
It sounds to me like most would not have a problem if they could just load and unload with a big motor. I agree with that because it is too hard to load some of these heavy rigs without using the motor. I agree with Elnut that if the laws were changed to idle only the majority of tickets written would not be to fisherman. We tend to play by the rules as long as we know what they are.
Having said this if this lake was in my back yard or I liked to fish it I would buy me a kicker motor to run on this lake. Actually I would probably buy me a nice wide jon boat with a 9.9 and be done with it.
I also believe that there are good reasons for not allowing big motors to run on this lake. If all of us were small boat owners with 9.9 hp motors we would all be complaining about allowing big motors on the lake. I think it is a neat deal to have a lake were the small boats are the real owners of the lake. There are so many big waters were the small boats have a hard time and are out of place that a small lake like beaver is perfect for them and serves a nitch in our fishing community.
But there is nothing wrong with allowing the big motors to load and unload.
Just my opinion but I can see it from both sides.
