Isn't the Corps supposed to maintain that dock for all the "fees" they collect ? Might be time to make some very pointed calls to the Lake hdqtrs. and get them off their rear ends. Lot of folks are going to be needing that dock in the next few weeks. They are sure quick enough to place tickets on fishermen's vehicles they suspect haven't placed their "fee" in the box.
Crappie5 Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I know what you mean about the fees and tickets. I put in a Viola last Feb and my rearview mirror had fell off so I layed my yearly pass on the dash up against the windshield and when I got back to the ramp from fishing there was a ticket under my windshield wipers. And over on the edge of the boat ramp layed the courtesy dock up on the bank.

If they fix the dock as fast as they replace the light next to it, we may be waiting a few years for it. I can't remember the last time that light worked. Its pretty bad when the guy driving the boat has to shine a light on the ramp so you can back the trailer in.
