So, I hear that no wake zone was implemented at Arrow Head swim area. That's a good thing. Now hearing that no wake/idle speed only at Silver Rock area is under consideration. Does this mean it's ok for some of these boaters to scream past the individual homeowner docks ( or worse, come by with a wake boat throwing 4-6ft waves), but everyone else has to idle by Silver Rock? How about some common sense and operator courtesy? My boat wake varies very little at idle or on plane. While we are considering changes, how about implementing a designated wake surf/ wake boarding zone downriver from Silver Rock? There is an area near the mouth of Crooked Creek where there is no development or docks that seems appropriate. Wake boarding and wake surfing boats continue to wreak havoc on docks and retaining walls. Had to spend $7k last year on a new lift after 2 repairs from damage caused by huge waves wouldn't hold. Growing weary of inconsiderate operators and spending money unnecessarily. And, to the "canned" response that operators are responsible for wakes, I would like to hear from anyone who has had success in getting a response from reporting this type of behavior to Marine Police or Coast Guard Auxillary.
