REDSOXWSCHAMP Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 I stopped fishing fellows lake because of the extremely rude behavior of the marina personnel. The last I renewed my annual sticker they would not give it to me until I read the rules and regulations and they were very rude about it. I had an old sticker from the lake on the lake and informed them I had fished there over 20 years. I had a job before I retired that required me to read a huge amount of documents daily which I learned to do with a speed reading course. After I read the folder I was told I could not get a permit because I did not read it all. I told them I did and said I was going fishing anyway since they would not give me the permit. I was told they were calling security which was ran by a retired FBI agent. I told them go ahead. After my guest from out of town said he was not comfortable fishing there we left. Thank you for the city contact email I will contact them about the Marinas outrages behavior. the only security i have ever seen there, was some joke of a rent-a cop. i say we all get together and go into that cove and throw a party
hknfsh Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 My son went up to Fellows this weekend and had to get his boat sticker first. Said the lady at the marina was nice as could be and the gentleman (husband ?) in there with her was pleasant enough. Not sure who in fact is the loose cannon up there. Also...he didn't have to read the folder full of rules before he was allowed a sticker.
Members cabinman Posted May 7, 2014 Members Posted May 7, 2014 Yes evilcatfish CU did respond promptly after I sent an email on April 24 about my boat permit experience . She thanked me for the comments and said she addressed my experience and others with Marina personnel. Thanks to the person who put the CU contact information on this forum thread I am sure their attitude will improve. I also told a previous CU board chairman who just built a lake house on a private lake across the lane from my home. hknfsh it was a lady at the marina That I dealt with.
ColdWaterFshr Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Do they still have that old hand-drawn map of the lake thumb-tacked to the ceiling in the marina office? Many fond memories there, of sunburned Sunday afternoons sucking down Fanta grape soda, a snicker bar, and catching dozens of nice crappie off the end of that dock with micro-jigs whenever they first came out (early 80's?) We used to fish in the back of that marina cove all the time, but I never remember it fishing very well. Better spot was the northeast bank as you come out of that cove. Got in trouble once as a kid for casting from the shore toward the marina and pulled in a nice 3 lb bass. Remember a cranky dock owner coming out and giving the what-for as I unhooked the plastic worm from its jaw. Was the biggest bass of my life to that point and that old codger nearly ruined it for me.
dennis boatman Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 the only security i have ever seen there, was some joke of a rent-a cop. i say we all get together and go into that cove and throw a party This could be the next Cliven Bundy fiasco... A strike indicator is just a bobber...
