Good work Bassman. I think this bill is rediculous. I live on the lake so I get the concerns from all angles because I am friends with bass fisherman and homeowners. I do wish the people that don't live on the lake would stop assuming that we think the traffic is high because of the ramp traffic. Very untrue! We are all concerned about the well being of the lake and the increase in building and more and more moorings being granted on the lake.

This bill is meaningless. Accidents are down and patrols are always out there in full force. There has to be something done for the well being of the lake period! I was actually swaying on the side of the bill because my knee jerk reaction was that it would decrease the traffic but for $50, which is less than 1 round of golf or 1/2 tank of gas I think people will still pay it. If this bill is to strictly have more patrols then it is a waste. Focus more on protecting a great lake!

The launches and parking lots are a joke as far as condition and they are allowing more and more new constructions to go up every year. Yes I am self fish in wanting less traffic on the lake and to stop building but the lake has more developed land per acre than any other lake in the state. It has to stop or the lake will truely die!
