Sam Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I've been trying to buy an Annual launch pass all month, with no success. Well, I haven't really been trying very hard - I've been launching at Bridgeport but driving over to Cape Fair first, trying to find the campground / launch ramp entry booth open. Even though it's been 9 a.m. or later each time, there's been no one there so I've driven back to Bridgeport and gone fishing. Sooner or later I'm going to want to put in at Mill Creek, Long Creek, Aunt's Creek, or some other ramp that requires a launch fee - and that will probably be early in the a.m. so the booth won't be open yet. I'm not gonna put 4 bucks in an envelope for the day, because I want an annual pass. Maybe a note left on my dashboard would work - WILL BUY AN ANNUAL LAUNCH PASS ON THE WAY OUT. I'm sure I could go to the visitors center at the Dam and buy the permit, but that would be a nuisance when I'm trailering my boat from Ozark to fish the James River Arm. I'm going again tomorrow and that will be in the new month of April - does anyone know if that booth at Cape Fair will be open? If not I'll quit driving over there just to find no one around.
Champ188 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Tried calling the Corps office or checking online? I did. Their website says they open Tuesday, April 1.

Sam Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 April (tomorrow) - got it, guys. Thanks. My wife and I drove over to Wilson's Creek Battlefield a few weeks ago, and I got my Geezer (Senior) Card. With that, the Corps will sell me an Annual Day Use Pass for $15. - which will be a WHOLE lot cheaper than all those times I paid them $4 to launch last year!
ozarkgunner Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 You can buy one from the stockton lake office via mail. It works on table rock. Angler At Law
Members ChiefTIm Posted April 1, 2014 Members Posted April 1, 2014 Don't bother to go to the Table Rock Lake Visitor's Center on a weekend. They only sell the permits during the week, from 9 to 5. Regardless of the fact that most people work during the week and can't buy the permit that you must have to fish on the weekends when you are not working. Makes you wonder what we pay taxes for.

Sadly, I know exactly what we pay taxes for...
Old plug Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 I am a little surprised you have a pass. You pay taxes. Not seem right to me.
Old plug Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 So do I DTRS was a civil servant for a lot of years. It os a very wasteful system we function under.
snakem Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 I got mine over the phone at stockton with a credit card got it the next day.
