The other thread, about the new Gatlin Gun, motivates this question.

Mixed use lake: skiing/wakeboarding/tubing, swimming, fishing, cruising,
and shoreline camping.

Some things are obvious: no wake in the no wake zones; stay clear of
downed skiers/boarders/swimmers; ski boats don't need to stay close to
shoreline and shoreline campers with anchored boats

How far away is far enough, when cruising at WOT, or trying to enjoy
some speed , to get from one end of a lake to the other, and you're the
only fishing boat (or two) bobbing about.

I like to go fast from one end of the lake to the other. The fishermen
seem to prefer floating about where the lake narrows. I don't want to
ruin their day, but I also don't want to ruin my fun either.

If you swamp one of their boats, your fun could (and should) include
spending the rest of the day in handcuffs.

Uh, Doug, does the tone of my post come anywhere near suggesting that
possibility?

Well, you said "but I also don't want to ruin my fun either.", which
suggests you have about a 50/50 chance of making the wrong choice.
