I don't think that 483 would release an onslaught of "pleasure boaters" that would prey on unsuspecting fishermen. I have not fished Lake Martin for over twenty years, but if I wanted, I could find plenty of "safe areas" in most parts of the lake. The times have changed - when I was in high school in the '70's I would put a 12' aluminum boat in at Blue Creek bridge and we would fish down to Chimney Rock - dang sure would not do that now. I do not mind removing stuck lures from the pier; as long as no one steps on it, I figure no foul - I really did not enjoy removing a lure from the boat upholstery however... I really see this as a "ME" post - I matter, you do not. The "Big Boat Ban" was pushed through by "ME" people, the PWC and over 49 horsepower ban will also be pushed through by "ME" people.
