I got a ticket on caddo for traveling at a unsafe speed. I was right in front of big pines on a Thursday afternoon when I got the ticket. Tried to fight it and lost.

Yep. Lake Arlington has a posted speed of 25MPH. Arlington PD keeps lake officers on the water during higher traffic times...with radar! Actually the only one I've been on with an actualy speed limit. All others I've seen have just been posted "No Wake". I've never seen any lake officers out there or any speed limits...
Send it!

I know up home, that the speed limit is what is posted for the road nearest the lake, so if it posted 35 thats it

The signs at the ramps should be your 1st clue.

Some lakes like Arlington have a speed limit. All others it is up to the GW if you are operating at a prudent speed for the conditions. is that a joke? My boat does not run 25 on plane

If the hull is decent, faster means less wake. I'd rather a bass boat blow by me full speed than slow down and plow through.

I haven't been on arlington in awhile. I thought it was 30. There were speed limit signs at both ramps. You should know the lake regs if you fish it. No alcohol allowed on it since it is run by the city. Skeet, if your boat will not stay on pad at 25 you need to get someone to set it up right.

Is there a such thing as a speed limit on a lake?
I had a buddy said he got a warning by game warden for speeding on Joe Pool..... Really? What determines the speed limit I wonder during Monday thru Friday in the mornings and evening you have to observe School Zones on the lake But seriously, Sounds like a Barney Fife Wannabe GW Should of got his name and called his supervisor and informed him of this Of course, if the fish are schoolin' you'll want to slow down anyway!

How many boats do NOT have a speedometer?
I know of no statue, etc. in Texas that requires a boat to have a speedometer.
For cars, trucks, etc. there is such a requirement.
8.02. MISTAKE OF FACT.
(a) It is a defense to prosecution that the actor through
mistake formed a reasonable belief about a matter of fact
if his mistaken belief negated the kind of culpability
required for commission of the offense.
(b) Although an actor's mistake of fact may constitute
a defense to the offense charged, he may nevertheless
be convicted of any lesser included offense of which he
would be guilty if the fact were as he believed.
Without a speedometer it would be hard for the prosecution to prove culpability. This is why no wake zones are used rather than actual speed in mph. A wake is observable without any instrumentation.
Secondly, until GPS systems came online the traditional speedometers in pleasure boats were highly problematic in terms of accuracy.

Above all else hold these two things in the greatest of circumspection; government and self. YOLO=Schiefspiegler
