Not surprising with the damage they can cause and one capsized that fishing boat on conroe and one individual drowned.

i hate the huge wakes, but it is their right to enjoy the water just as much as mine. my ultrex makes it slightly more tolerable now. Cypress SPrings is horrible on the weekends. I really enjoy fishing during the weekdays now! I see why my dad never fishes on weekends now!

I really enjoy fishing during the weekdays now! I see why my dad never fishes on weekends now! Enjoying water yes. Damaging property and taking lives like the incident on Conroe. No. Conroe is absolutely horrible during the summer. The most unsafe lake in texas. Numerous drownings and boat wrecks every year. Boats on that lake that belong in the ocean.
I can backlash toilet paper.

I'm all for reducing these wakes. However, I advise to be careful how you push the "city ordinance" angle on this. I can't find the copy I had now, but I remember there was an attorney general opinion years ago addressing the "no fishing by city ordinance" signs on the Ray Hubbard marinas. That opinion pretty much said that state laws overrode the city ordinance and boaters could not be restricted from public navigable waters in that case. I suspect the wake boarders could latch on to this same idea.
I only mention it so we don't look like hypocrites as a group by trying to play both sides on the ordinance angle. As mentioned above, a state law is needed to really have any teeth, but maybe that sign scares a few of them that won't do any digging.

I need it to get cold again so I can get back out to Conroe, haven't fished is since right before summer began when all the pleasure and ski boats came out of hibernation. It will just wear you out and it can get pretty dangerous.

The start of restrictions will not bode well for bass boats. Ya I'm not sure more government is the best solution here. But not to worry there is no way with the amount of money involved in the large marinas, ski boats and yachts that they pass any legit laws to keep them out of certain lakes. As is always the case the all mighty dollar wins

My son and I fished a Saturday tournament on Conroe a couple of weeks ago. We started out up north by Cagle and around noon ran south. We got south of the 1097 bridge and turned right around it was so rough. Bad part is the wakeboard boats now hang out right in the middle of the boat lane running north before you cross over to the east towards Cagle. One gave me the finger as I went by him but the lane is pretty narrow so there's not a lot of options. They were wake boarding in the lane all day and started very early.
