I have noticed that almost nobody obeys by the no wake zone at the fort anymore. Is there anyway to get the FWC to patrol that area? They could make a killing out there in fines. I must have seen like over 50 or 60 boats the past 2 weeks that have just hauled ass right through the no wake zone.
I don't mean to be a kill joy but people are just running right through it at full speed.

*FWC on any cell phone and you can report it. You can also report it at Report Wildlife Violations

Are they running by the ramp like that or up the Wakulla?

I was down there Friday afternoon. A large offshore boat launched ahead of me. As I was launching, the offshore boat shoved off of the dock, pointed it toward the gulf, and hammered down 50 feet from the dock. Two more boats came running down the river from Shields. They never slowed down. The problem is getting worse.

That is one of the few areas I get stopped by the man regularly.
I asked once and they use St.Marks as a training area so there are more officers there than almost anywhere....

Maybe they need to run a sting in the no wake zone!

Fwc patrolls that area a lot,these people will cuss at you if you went by Shields like that,I don't have a big problem with somebody taking off from the ramp going out,the new no wake zone is silly anyway, having to idle around the corner or if coming out of the Wakulla slowing down for 200 yards for no reason

Coming out of Wakulla NWZ is primarily to keep 2 boats colliding when 1 is hauling ass out of The Fort Ramp.

I don't know what else they can do. FWC is crawling all over that intersection almost every weekend.

You are right and it would happen too.
