I don't post on here much, but have been reading up on these posts. I am by no means defending the wake boats because I hate them as much as the next guy. I know several of the local water officers on table Rock , and know they have their hands full most days and they work hard. What I was questioning was the people saying it was illegal for the wake boat in Bobby b instance to pass so close. Missouri law states it is illegal to operate a vessel or pwc above idle speed within 100 feet of a pier or dock as several members have discussed in this thread. I get this and agree it is a problem. It also says it is illegal to operate a motorboat within 100 feet of an occupied, anchored vessel. As bass fisherman I doubt most of you use an anchor while fishing and are most likely on the troller, I may be wrong. I also read where it is illegal for a pwc to operate above idle speed within 50 feet of any boat, swimmer, etc. regardless if it's anchored or not. So is the water patrol to blame on these stupid wake boats not getting stopped, I don't think so. Unless your fishing anchored there is no law that I see, as to how far away other boats (not pwcs) must stay from you on or off plane. Is it extremely inconsiderate, yes. But illegal, no. Now if it was a pwc, with more specific laws in place, then yes. As soon as they get within 50 feet of you while fishing at any time they are in violation, which everyone of us has encountered. But the rest of the boats have no such restrictions. In short, I'm not aware of what law quoted above made this situation wrong other than the dumb wake boat keeping his docking/ headlights on the whole time. Looks to me like it's more of a lack of common courtesy/ common sense among the pleasure boaters.

What type of grubs you using? Are they a 4" or 5" split tail hula grub with a skirt or just a ordinary spit tail? And you say your best color was a white shad color with black flake? or just anything white.

anyone know the results from wednesdays meeks tourney at table rock?
