Rude and Inconsiderate Fishermen on Cedar Creek!!! ....... :-(

The problem with the restrictions is that I've seen people on this very board talk about how restrictions on some of the small lakes like Beaver and Elmer Davis aren't "fair" to those with larger boats or motors.

I've also seen posts say that they don't abide by them - either by fishing with a boat that is too long or by using their big motor at idle only or using their big motor to load their boat, etc.

I know it's not fair to regulate HP limits but something will be done in the near future. It has to because someone will get hurt. Maybe having a idle speed only from the middle ramp into the upper reaches of the lake, this is the main area that has the most problems IMO.

That way all the boats that love to run or need to run can have a part of the lake and the rest can be safer for small boats and all fisherman in general.

They used to have a very good regulation at Lake Malone, and I am guessing they still do. All boats must drop down to idle speed any time they pass a boat that is not under way. It causes a lot of starting and stopping which can help regulate how fast boats go in certain areas. And it also was great because you didn't get swamped by other boats if you were fishing back in a creek.
