Lots of places around the country have banned ballast boats. Conroe is somewhat sheltered because of the sea way that wraps around most of the lake. I'm not sure who exactly makes the regulations for specific lakes in Texas, but if someone made a strong structured push I'd bet a prohibition on them could be achieved.

SJRA makes the rules for Conroe. Look at the prices of lake front homes all around that lake. $$$ always win at Conroe and it's not the bass fishermen with all those $$$. My rule of thumb is to stay off that lake as soon as it gets nice out. Anytime after 10 am on a weekend is a madhouse and very dangerous.

I would like to be able to fish during the week and stay away from lakes on the weekends, but unfortunately work gets in the way.

These people really are idiots!"gangster wake, by that logic, fisherman cannot fill their livewells. Make a point to mention this next time you get pulled. That door swings both ways.... " "Take 4" PVC pipes 3-4 feet long put screw on caps at the end then fill them full of lead and label them fishing rods or tackle or something fishing related and put them on the ski locker, side lockers or where ever. Make one PVC pipe that actually does have fishing tackle open it up and show it to the water cops when they ask." http://forums.wakeboarder.com/viewtopic.php?p=403276&sid=0f34bd42684604ea64fd958d57f11f1d Even the biggest fishing boats out there dont compete with 1000-4000 pounds of water. I dont understand your point

Honestly though, there is no magic bullet to solve all of this, like Fouzman stated earlier, it's all about the money when it comes to Conroe, there are some folks that own a large marina on the lake (I won't mention names) that is a very large influence when it comes to changes being made to the lake, they also happen to be the only people that have wet slips that will accommodate 50-60' boats, i can promise you, they start talking about restricting the size of the boats allowed on Lake Conroe, these folks will get involved, and they will get their way!
