I'll play your game. If it's legal, then I'm gonna do it. You guys in your kayaks, jon boats and Trackers need to realize it's legal to run on plane therefore you should stay away. Go fish a lake with idle only bridges. That's simple.

Cigarettes are legal does not mean they are safe.

Use common sense bud. How would you feel if you take out a kid in yak or jon boat? Would you say, "well I was legal, too bad for him".

But hey, I guess your 50k boat trumps a guy in $500 Kayak. #MakeAmericaGreatAgain

Running on plane under a bridge isn't unsafe (the case here). Running under a bridge wide open is unsafe for the boat. A boat doing 30 (a reasonably safe speed) is throwing a smaller wake than the same boat barging along doing 8-10 mph to "idle" under a bridge. In a yak, would you rather deal with a boat wake or 3' boat rollers?

This is dumb to me. I am NOT going to stick my hand in a hole if I know their is a rattlesnake in their. You know the law if you take your kids out and put them in a bad situation and get them hurt, its not the other guys fault you made a decision that has consequences. I think people like you just want to blame everyone else for your decisions. You can take your kayak and kids to a place where you will not be putting your own kids in danger. The laws are suppose to be for the majority not the one or two kayakers. You should take your own advice and use comment sense and just not go to a lake with your kayak with your kids that you know has a bridge that boats of all kinds can run through or next to. so BUD take your own advice

I have no opinion on the conversation except to quote from the Texas Water Safety Act, SubChapter D 31.106 Personal Watercraft.
"(a) No person shall operate a personal watercraft in the following manner or under the following circumstances: (4) within 50 feet of any other vessel, person, stationary platform or other object, or shore, except at headway speed;"

From 55.302 Definitions:
"(3) Headway speed�Slow, idle speed, or speed only fast enough to maintain steerage on course."

Whether you're in a no-wake zone or not, you are responsible for any injury or damage caused by your wake.

Legal or not running on plane under those bridges is very dangerous.

As a kayak fisherman I want to give a big middle finger to anyone who does that... legal or not. There are always little crappie boats and jon boats, bass busters and yaks tied off on or near those pilings. And they could be on the backend of one where you cant see them and they cant see you.

Very dangerous situation to have a glitter boat shoot through there with any speed at all.

Common sense guys. Too many fisherman lost their lives bcs people dont practice common sense or show courtesy to their fellow man.
