[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 101163, member: 437"] I'm not sure about that. I am sure that probably 95% of the boats on those lakes are not equipped with a marine band radio, though. The lakes definitely do not have enough patrol personnel for their size, especially on the KY side. I can't even remember the last time that I saw a USCG vessel off of it's moorings since the KDFWR and TWRA took up sole lake patrol duties. KDFWR lake patrol is comprised of CO's that they transfer from across the state to the lake for one to two weeks at a time. When you consider that the entire state averages less than one CO per county and how many other lakes there are in the state that also require patrol, there's not a whole lot of patrolling going on.
