Looking to make it up to Torch lake this summer, anyone heard of any issues with noise? I don't need any tickets, Thanks

I was hoping you would check

You may encounter some harassment if you dont have silent choice while you're going through either torch or clam rivers. Out on the lake they dont mess with us much.

I was "told" last year they were going to issue warnings and this year issue tix. FWIW

Any word if anyone has been issued one yet?

yes indeed. i was on a buddies cat and the dick head wator patrol muttered the exact same thing.

off weekends might be ok but grab your ankles on holiday weekends!

We have a group of boats coming up to the area the 4th of July weekend. We are staying in Elk Rapids but we are planning on heading to the sand bar on the 4th. Is there any insight you guys can give me? We are coming up from OH and are looking forward to a good weekend. I really don't want to have any trouble.

Shane, Kirk knows a few of the water cops pretty well. I will make a call and get the number to call the cops direct. We should be ok.

The water patrol in my conversations with them in years past has been watching out for people who are drunk or causing other problems. Don't give them a reason to bother you and they leave you alone. I don't have silent choice exhaust and have never had a single issue about noise, hopefully things are no different now!

Last year's over the top cops are gone, they had a meeting with law enforcement and they wont bother you this year unless youre being an idiot.
