Reply With Quotecan tell you guys from experience as someone who fishes cedar creek from a fourteen foot lowe extra wide john boat. i have been actively fishing many times back in the trees when someone comes through pouring it on it and will slam you with wake. It is not pleasant to be back in those trees and getting pounded by wake. i wish they would leave the main body alone but change it to no wake from were it splits off to go up to the bridge and just make all of the major branches into no wake. what does it help to run wide open from that fork up to the bridge. it isn't that far to go at no wake. i have fished there on foggy mornings and had people running wide open up in that fork and almost run you over. In general people need to pay more attention to there surroundings and those around them, just because I don't want to pay $30,000 for a boat doesn't mean i should not get the same pleasure out of fishing that someone who does. how would they feel if i ran right up next to them pushing off wake. I'd probably get shot. I have a nine year old that loves to fish but i won't take her there in the boat because of this. I will take her to wilgreen or beaver or stoner creek instead just because of people driving there boats carelessly. The regulaions say you should use idle speed to go by someone who is actively fishing. how many actually do it, very few. Those scratches on my $5,000 boat from being slammed into a tree from your wake hurt my heart just as much as it does the guy who gets a scratch on his $30,000 boat. How many people complain about the jet ski's and the pleasure boaters and the water skier's ruining there fishing and then turn around and do it to someone else. we should all slow down a little and be courteous to the next guy.
