What part? Im assuming the same penalties on water as on land? Yes you will loose your driving rights for a year if your over the legal limit. Game wardens carry the testers on there boat.

The Internet has taken a lot of the sport out of it, and the amount of boats on the water today is amazing! Im 30 now, and have been on the water and in the woods since I was Sh###ing green, and never as a kid do I remember this volume of people hunting and fishing. It is, what it is, and its something were gonna deal with reguardless.

I fished Big Lake throughout the 90's with very few boats compared to now and caught alot more fish back then also.

There have always been alot of boats on the lake on 1.Weekends 2. Calm Days 3. Summer Months

Sometimes I am only able to fish on weekends and it drives me crazy! Boats fish boats on big lake.

I do remember the shootout having hundreds of boats on the Lake more than recent.

[Wide Open]

Twin 175 HPDI's and it still struggled to hit high 50"s

This is the biggest fact.........You could stop anywhere and act like your setting the hook and you will start pulling boats in......I know if I fish a weekend I have to just fish outside the box........I try to stay away from any crowds by getting somewhere before light and hoping to get a good bite until your spotted ...Then I just fish other small reefs that not many know about....Or I will go fish the outside of a reef that 50 boats are on...most likely they have all ready moved the fish out

Some of my best weekend trips were fishing outside the reefs while 50 boats potlick each other...I will move 500 yards away and smash them.....

I guess y'all dont know the cheeto trick.

There are entirely TOO MANY people fishing, boating, and enjoying their weekends on Big Lake. Something has to be done or else it is going to get bad and someone is gonna get hurt There needs to be a draw of some sort that limits the amount of people on the lake on the weekends, like 100 or so. That would help the fishing come back to the way it was in the (insert any year here when you heard there were 9 lb fish every cast) and then 'they' need to reduce the limit to 5 per person. Only 5 boats should be allowed for joyriding for any given day, the rest should be there for fishing only. And id you are caught fishing within 1/2 mile of anyone you lose your rights for a solid year. And if you are caught using live bait.....then firing squad

I thought you weighed a fish at 5.2 after being in the ice all day etc........there's no 5.2 on the leaderboard???

Dude, you better quit smoking that wacky tabacky and thinking that way cause that ain't never gonna happen on Big Lake. How can you limit the amount of boats and people on a public lake; get real!!

I was kidding man I have seen many of my places I am used to fishing get overran by people, but always seem to find a spot to myself at least for a little while. There are ways to beat it usually, some people only get to fish weekends and they are going come hell or high water, and I don't blame em.
