Sort of spinoff: should some waterways have boat restrictions?

In another thread, talking about bigger boats on small rivers and such. My questions are,
1. Should there be some laws created restricting certain boats from navigating smaller rivers (looking at you cigs on natalbany)
2. Should there be zones created to where skiing/tubing can be done.

Doing this would be kinda liberal, but with boats getting bigger, and the drivers dumber, would you go for this?

As long as it's done by the State, and not some yocal board or commision, I'd be ok with it.

Yes, I would go for boat size restrictions. I'm as conservative as can be, but when one of those idiots in the big arse cigar boats/cabin cruisers come down Little Chene Blanc with the nose in the air you can't get away from them without going in the trees.

Either that, or just allow us to shoot those idiots when they run people off the river.

Yes. Gay kayaks shouldn't be allowed anywhere men fish.

I was on/semi-drove a barge through a skinny arse canal in the basin. It was definitely too big. Kept slinging into the trees every time we turned. If another boat would've been coming, they would have had to be almost on the bank to get around us

I can't speak for all areas or even most, but I would like to see a few changes on the Diversion. We have A LOT of boat traffic and get a lot of boats with limited boating experience. I would like to see the following restrictions on Spring and summer weekends only.

1) Speed limit of 35 mph

2) No tubers or skiers/ wake boarders, etc on the Diversion of lower Blind River between Blind River Bar and the Lake. Even on busy days there are areas on the Lake, Amite and Blind Rivers that have less traffic and can be used for such activities. Jet Ski tomfoolery needs to be restricted to these areas also.
