Plates all the way down and zig zagging is all you can do.

back in the 90's I cruised the channel many times even on holiday weekends and never had a problem.

That's the only thing that worked for me also .... zig zagging kinda kills the wake .... or maybe it just seemed that way from what I rolled in the Zig Zags

Years ago at Ten Mile Lake there was a v dive hydro going through the "no wake" Chanel between north and south lake. The ranger (F&G or someone) guy had him stopped dead because idle speed was too fast.... I towed him through slow with a little whacker on a fishing boat...... My reward was a ride in the hydro...WHOOOEEYYY, did that thing haul ass... About dusk I heard him coming back from where ever it was he went, and towed him back the other way....Might have been my first exposure to a real screamer, and quite frankly, it scared the hell out of me......But, I would have gone again if he offered!!!!
