Ignorance of rules & laws...

Left work early friday to fish a small lake. I chose this lake because a) its on the way home and b) no boats allowed. I arrived to see only one black p/u truck. I thought not bad considering nice day. But as I approached the lake, i noticed two kayaks on the water and they were fishing. You cannot reach the lake without first passing by a clearly marked sign that says "No boats allowed on municipal waters" Written in spanish too for those who no comprendo ingles. Anyhow I was not pleased and quickly returned to my vehicle. I found a piece of paper and wrote a nice little love note for the violators reminding them no boats allowed. I carefully slipped it under their windshield wiper and drove off to another spot. Hopefully they - literally - get the message

In case your wondering, a kayak(and canoe) is considered a boat by definition.

that's my neck of the woods too. i never fish there except when it's covered with ice because the weeds are insane. shame about the 'yaks, several legal places nearby they could have fished instead.

Yep. Not a boat hater its just nice to have a few places where you don't have to deal with boats. I mean other than your local farm ponds, most places don't have restrictions. I applaud this township for doing it.

I called the appropriate number recently to report a similar violation...they didn't care...what's the point of rules not enforced?

Those are sit inside kayaks! Or Redneck bass boats as I call them. I wouldn't put them in boat or kayak group. But I see your point.
