Spot remover - to cover a few points of yours:

1. "they" (I assume you meant AL Power and FeRC) did ask fishermen. They asked all stakeholders, at many public meetings, and through many opportunities to email and write, to have a voice. I assume by asking the question you did not participate in any of the public comment venues you were afforded. If not, I would ask you, why didn't you come to any meetings in the last 6 years? Why didn't you write in to AL Power and FeRC? If you did do these things, then you have been asked.

2. To act like casual fishermen like Ulysses don't have a vote just because you feel superior to him in skill, should not matter. I am sure you are a better fisherman than him and me put together, but that doesn't mean you get a larger vote.

3. To lump all boaters into one category as disturbers of the peace or dangerous is not fair at all. Sure, there are a host of bad apples, but the same can be said for fishermen. Most fishermen are courteous, but a select few are not. I've seen more than my share of fishing boats that speed, drive crazy, dump trash, and be jerks.

4. I fish and I boat. Many, many people do both. The two groups are not mutually exclusive.

5. If you're feeling crowded, try some different locations. It's a huge lake. Also try to mix it up with different times and places. every serious and effective fisherman I know that catches fish in the summer fishes at night. They don't fish at night because of the boaters. It's the water temp.
