A bass boat at 70mph does make more wake than a bass boat idling. The wake is just way behind it.

Is there a speed limit there?

who are you to tell me where and how i can drive my boat? 70 mph in a bass boat...what wake??? i obey all no-wake zones...get off your high horse, there are no speed limits on the water
I know people who have died in boating accidents because of that kind of thinking.

There's almost nothing in the water at that speed. The wake is tiny. To idle, one must have come down, and then get back up. Two spots of maximum wake.

that is true...but if it's not a posted no-wake zone, you don't have to idle

2) Doing 25 - 30 past a camp is way different than 60 - 70 like those guys do. That is unsafe to others who use the waterway. You may be fishing a tournament, but other people actually live and fish there regularly. Don't be a prick.
Enough said about your boating knowledge

I don't know what you want me to tell you, but your boat is still on plane at that speed. At higher speeds, the drag on the water IS higher, thus more kinetic energy is being converted to wake. You may plane a little higher, but not much.

Is there a speed limit there?

I've been boating since I've been off the tit. Don't tell me anything about boating knowledge. Being a prick with an oversized motor does not make you more knowledgeable. Maybe your cool sig does, though.

BS. The difference is huge in the amount of water your pushing at those speeds.
I cant stand when idiots slow down a throw a huge wake.

i can tell you, at 30 mph in my boat, more of the boat is sitting in the water and more water is being displaced, thus throwing bigger wake, at 70, the only thing in the water is pad and the prop, there is almost no wake to speak of

That's why a decent boater comes off of plane before "targets for dumbasses" and waits until they are passed to get back on it.
I'm not even talking about wake, though. I'm talking about the equivalent of doing 70 through a neighborhood because there isn't a speed limit sign in sight. Use common sense and courtesy. That's all I'm saying. A whole lot of tournament fisherman do not.

the hate with this statement is just shining through, what you got against big motors? i bet you don't mind having a 300 when going offshore, no?

I know that. Just was saying that a bass boat at 70 seems to make no wake when youre in it because its so far back.
I know slowing down and getting back up makes a huge wake at two points, but if you drop it down hard and get back up asap it isnt bad an you dont have to worry about crashing the dude fishing and killing everybody if your steering goes out at the wrong time or something. Safety is more important than wakes.
Its also a simple fact that people will get mad when you blow by them in south LA, so dont do it for your own good. Save yourself some potential bullshite at the launch and on the water.
