Heads Up, Baxter Area

Recommended Posts

If you night-fish the Baxter area prepare to be blinded !

A new large dock ( is there any other kind ? ) installed on the pea-gravel flats directly across the White River from the mouth of Big/Little Indian Creek now is lighted at night beginning last night.......! It's lighted up so well you can about read a newspaper all the way across the Lake.

Someone installed what appears to be two full-sized "dusk-to-dawn" lights in that new orange color out on the very ends of the new dock. Instead of tucking them up under the rafters and roof like normal, these glaring, gazillion-lumen "beacons" are now out there in the open completely wiping out any passing boater's night vision.

For two months this empty, 20 slip dock sat there with no lighting at all and while no one wants to hit a dock in the dark this situation has just gone too far and gotten unacceptable.

Not sure who to ask about this overdone dock-light thing but pack your sunglasses gents if you night fish the area 'cause you're gonna' need 'em !

And oh yeah, the bow-fishing boats are back operating in the same area running around at 40-50 mph with their nuclear-reactor powered lights full on and if you encounter one of them, you're going to need a welding helmet !
