I’ve been property owner for over 20 years on Gilas Lake. I have thoroughly enjoyed the boating activities with my family during the wake hours from 10-4pm. However, my favorite time of the day is after 4pm when I can slowly troll around on my pontoon boat and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Gilas Lake! Please protect this precious time for all!
I like the 4:00PM time to let the lake settle down for other recreational activities, i.e. fishing, floating, kayaking, paddle boards, etc. This is one of the benefits that influenced me in purchasing property on Gilas Lake in the first place.
We enjoy being able to fish without dealing with wakes, because of the size of the lake it does not provide the opertunity for both fishing and skiing at the same time, seems that the current schedule allows the opportunity for both types of activities, extending the times for skiing would substantially reduce the ability to fish or relax on the water
No need to change the hours. The quiet time from 4pm-10am allows for calm waters without boats/jet skis zooming around. Growing up having summers on Gilas Lake, the pre and post-wake were always enjoyed the most. I hope my children get to experience the same stillness this special lake offers. It isn't big enough to have extended wake hours.
The fact that the hours were changed without any notice is a big issue. Wake time of 10 am - 4 pm is perfect. Absolutely no need to go to 6:00. Our 3 year old and his cousins love the playtime hours right before and after dinner. And earlier in the morning without big waves.
I am in favor of not changing the current ordinance which calls for no wake hours after 4 pm
I fish Gilas lake several times a year. No need to change the no wake time. Lake is small enough to get from place to place going a no wake speed.

The last thing this lake needs is 2 more hours of people aimlessly circling the lake at high speeds. It makes swimming, fishing, paddle-boarding, and canoeing more dangerous and less enjoyable. The best time on Gilas has always been the evening. This is a surefire way to ruin that.
