John Andrews Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Thats right Sunday am I saw someone on springfield lake with a 225 horsepower motor. I am guessing the aluminum boat was 18-20 long. Saturday the wife and I saw another guy in a alumicraft with a 200 horse engine. Correct me if I am wrong but according to what I found " Only craft EQUIPPED with a 6hp or less engine are allowed" From Fri to Sun. I saw a total of 4 law breakers. Well folks I have HAD IT. I will now carry a video camera and will be taking down liscense plate numbers, craft ID numbers and calling the SPD. I am on a mission. I am sick of it. By what ever legal means I have , I will do my best to put an end to it. I enjoy this little lake too much to just do nothing. Thanks for allowing me to vent.
Lancer09 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I'm pretty sure bass pro does rides out there in boats with permission.
John Andrews Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 If by permission than all is well. I bet none of these people had permission.
fishinwrench Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 What are they hurting/damaging? Sounds as if those "rules" are flexible and/or dependent upon how/who/what, ect. Is it Fishing you enjoy, or is playing vigilante even more enjoyable ?

Is it Fishing you enjoy, or is playing vigilante even more enjoyable ? It's a lake that is usually covered in small boats and canoes. Way to small to be running a boat that size on it.
Flysmallie Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 How large is lake springfield 318 acres and shallow.
fishinwrench Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 It's a lake that is usually covered in small boats and canoes. Way to small to be running a boat that size on it. Define "running".
Flysmallie Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Define "running". Anything more than idle. Look it's just not a place for anything bigger than what the limit is set at. Lots of inexperienced canoers and people following the rules trying to enjoy the lake. It's not like there aren't a lot of choices of other lakes in the area. Most of this lake is very narrow. It's not like a regular lake where a guy might be running on the other side of the lake from you. I know how you feel about "rules", but you are wrong here.
fishinwrench Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I know how you feel about "rules".... And how is that? ....but you are wrong here. How can I be wrong? All I've done is ask a couple of questions.
