To answer your question, yes, I have been to 19 Mile Bay on busy weekends. (I like the fried chicken available across the street) and it's a cool place to hang. However, I am implying no such thing about Seaplane traffic... Your post however seems to be implying that area is only open to boats and Seaplanes are unwelcome. Seaplanes have just as much right to use 19 Mile bay (or any place on the lake) as anyone else. Personally, I would rather have the runway marked on a chart to make me aware of possible Seaplane operations. There has been one in Paugus Bay for as long as I can remember.
