This seems to be a law for the state of Georgia:
"The 100 foot rule simply says that
no vessel may be operated over idle speed within 100 feet of any moored or anchored vessel, vessel adrift, or ay
wharf, pier, piling or persons in the water,
or shoreline next to a full-time residence, public park, public beach, public swimming area, marina, restaurant, or other public use area.
From my own personal observation,
the 100 foot rule is the most violated law on our area lakes. I live in a cove that requires any boat or PWC that enters the cove to be at idle speed for almost the entire length of the cove. However
the law is continually violated by PWCs, pleasure boats and angler’s boats.
Do your part by knowing and obeying all Georgia’s laws relating to angling and boating. Good fishing and see you next week.
