I went fishing for the first time in several months last Friday. Much to my disappointment I found several trees that my family and I have fished for several years (since 1990) gone. Gone to development. My favorite treetop was one very close to our house that my mother and I, several years ago spent a whole day sinking Christmas trees around. Gone to development of new huge weekend homes. That is one memory gone! This was a spot close enough for my elderly parents to go and fish by themselves. I wonder how long it took the developer to destroy what took my mom and I a day to build. To those of you who are thanking Ala. Po. CO. Russell, and the State for giving you your lake back. You have fought the wrong battle. I am not sure what lake you think you have back. The lake we grew to love was the one where everyone waved at each other no matter what boat you were in. A lake where you could find a slough, with trees down to fish around. The lake that you are so proud to have back is one with no lack of development. Development means more people, more boats and more wakes. I hope you are happy. Once again YOU FOUGHT THE WRONG BATTLE.
P.S. if you have anything negative to say about this post keep it to yourself. I am not in the mood.

The bill hasn't even been signed by the governor yet, and already there are developments popping up everywhere! Willow Point, Windermere, Stillwaters, Windover, Trillium, Windermere West, Marina Marin, the Harbor, the Ridge, North Lake Condos... wow, those guys move fast!! I mean, to think that two days ago the lake was in no danger of being overdeveloped, and now, 48 hours later, al of these new places have sprung up, all because of the boat bill. It boggles the mind!

You have really missed the boat on this one. My point was in the past few years there has been no lack of development. And oh he!! never mind you would not get it any way.

Lake Martin will eventually go the way of Lake Lanier, and that was an inevitable prosession set in place years ago by the sheer beauty of the area and the abundance of land in close proxinity to the bustling metropolises within a two hour drive. The banning of the big boats is an attempt to slow the inevitable, but in all honesty, ultimately nothing will save Lake Martin. As long as there are people nearby, they will use the land to their advantage. The boat ban temporarily slows the exponential decay of the lake itself, but NOTHING will save the Lake forever....
assuming there will always be people involved.

I am not trying to start an argument, but I do not understand how banning my boat will slow the rapid development that is taking place on our lake (Lake Martin).
