I will have to say I can remember a time not too long ago when you could ride a standup jet ski on this lake or go sking or just ride around and have a good time.You could do all this without having a 50 thousand dollar boat that cost 500.00 to ride for a day either.Those days are long gone I am afraid,I have seen the pwcs go from a two man unit being acceptable to now a three man unit is barely big enough to get by.Is it the big boats that are to blame,you bet ya,once they started showing up it all escalated to bigger and bigger boats till the days of your average family going to the lake and having fun were over.Now that may suit some of you lake owners just fine but that last time that I cared to look this is a public lake and public covers a lot of people not just those that own property here or those that own big boats.Personally I would like to see a calmer gentler lake ,call me nostalgic or not.If that means some people with big boats have to leave so the rest of us can have our lake back and not have to go to the Alabama river to have fun then so be it.
