As a Lake Dunlap fisherman I am disappointed with this decision. As it was many were not paying any attention to the buoys anyway; however it takes the one reasonable section fishermen had to use during the daytime hours and turns it into another turbulent wake zone. Waves travel across both sides so it is now no different for fisherman than the rest of the lake. I understand we have to share the waters; however I feel with the lack of enforcement and particular lack of nautical knowledge and education that many pleasure boaters exhibit that this decision will leave many fisherman agitated. I am not lumping in all boaters on the lake by any means, but the jet ski that came within 4' of my boat in the SIDE CANAL last week was a perfect example of uneducated watercraft users. Couple this with boats that dont yield the proper direction when in a head on course and take tubers/skiers out without a spotter and this lake is an accident waiting to happen, just like Lewisville in Dallas. Ill stick to night fishing and take my money elsewhere, yall enjoy. But I think is a joke to reward the ski boaters, some of whom were involved with the ILLEGAL stump removal that occurred during the lake draw down. This action does just that.

As Lake Dunlap resident, thank you to all who contributed to this well considered solution!
