And like mentioned, there would be more people motoring up both fast and slow which would tick off other guys, causing waves and noise.
On paper it sounds and looks appealing no doubt, but i dont think it would benefit the fisherman in the long run if the barrier was moved back. No doubt alot of fish probably hang out way up there all.winter just waiting for the bait to come to them, but as it currently is sits, right at the mouth the fish have only 1 way in and 1 way out. Be there at the right time and the fish will be coming or going...there is no searching for them...they are going to pass thru sooner or later.
Just my 2 cents.
