Do the weeds cause problems for the local ecosystem? Is that why they try and kill it off? Don't let others give you a hard time cause you want your core protected from colder weather. I mean isn't it survival of the fittest? ;) Oh man I love going on lakes, they are pretty awesome. Do the weeds cause problems for the local ecosystem? Is that why they try and kill it off?

We were on a Mastercraft X-45, which comes stock w/ fat sacks (w/ remote pumps.) We throw in a couple of extras that we manually pump to get the wake higher. Wakesurfing is definitely fun, but I'm sure it doesn't even come close to Hawaii. Personally, I like hitting the wakeboard better.If you ever have a reason to come to town, hit me up - I'd be more than happy to take you out! Hey Jeff.

A friend of mine was telling me about that. I live and surf here in Hawaii. Is that one of those boats that you can let water in the back end to make the wake? I heard some of them can as high as 4 feet. Not as big as I would prefer, but sure would be fun behind a boat :) Hey Eric, That is pretty Kool surfing behind a boat.

They just shut off the water flowing into that section of the river, and the water level drops fast. They try to time it with the freezing weather to kill off the hydrilla. James,

Cant comment on that but I know about milfoil which might be almost as bad. There is a website here in Minnesota that has alot of stuff for both of those weeds. its http://www.LakeWeeds.MN I have bought a few items there but I mainly go there for the advice and the educational videos regarding the challenges of Hydrilla….

On one of the lakes I used to go to they had floating harvesters that would go around in the spring and fall pulling out as much weed as possible. Can't remember the name of the stuff but it was not native ether. Never heard of draining a lake every year. Sounds like some of the weed issues they were having back in Minnesota.
