    I would call them just for clarification of how the law is worded and if it's a local/county law or if they can produce or quote the state law that prohibits towing a skier (technically you were not skiing) within a 150ft.

    To clarify, this is for bridges with columns in the water. Suspension bridges don't count.

    Joe Pool Lake has them marked.

    No kidding. The same day we had a Jet Ski riding right behind our wakeboarder and then went around him and came right up on our wake. I had to veer away and shut it down because of the idiot. Where was this cop then???

    The cop was thinking i can get more money from the wakeboard boat then a jet ski person.

    There is never a cop to stop the idiots but always a cop to stop the safe people that just did not know about some laws.
