Cedar Creek Boating Issues

[Bonefish]

If you have a boating issue on Cedar Creek Lake in relation to the lack of boating safety, call Rick Muse, 606-669-2377.

I could make a call everytime I go out. I get so mad at all these guys going as fast as they can with there big mercurys. I feel like going over to them and saying yeah you have a fast boat, you don't have to show it. It's getting absolutely ridiculous and I hope they put a speed restriction on it.

It gets beat up and thrashed every weekend......

I love this lake, but it needs some attention by the K.D.F.W. for the guys hitting seventy-miles per hour and the guys taking the short fish out of it.

I agree 100%. There are very few people with common courtesy on this lake. I am all for idle speed only. If they want to run their boats up and down the lake all day long, then they should head to Cumberland, Green River, or any of the larger lakes. Also, it's not only the big rigs that will wash you off a spot, but there are also plenty of 20hp boats throwing out big wakes. People only think about theirselves and have no respect for anyone else. It's only around 800 acres, you can troll all over the lake with no trouble at all. Besides, there is no chance that you are going to fish a spot that has been hit at least a hundred times that day. What the hecks the hurry anyway?

Good points made in your post.

I'll be glad when they put speed limits on all lakes.

Is there just too many boats flying back and forth on that lake? It really does not bother me personaly when a boat goes by at 70mph, he is kicking up less wake than the 5 hp johnboat that just went by. But that really doesnt bother me either.

It does get really anoying when your trying to fish your favorite water and the fishing pressure increases every year making it harder and harder to catch the fish you used to. This happens way too often when the word gets out about a great fishery, but its the nature of the beast.

For small impoundments like cedar creek it wont take long before it turns into a guist creek with all the fishing pressure.

Heck, I like Guist Creek better anyway! I really hate new laws and regulations but an idle speed only on the upper part of the lake would fix the majority of the problems.

PLEASE, no regulations! It's my primary fishing hole, and I deal with the same guys too. It's a courtesy thing, and I've unintentionally made the mistake a few times myself. It's a Great lake ... enjoy it, and "roll with it". Life's way too short!
