Ya, terrible investment. Probably worth 10X or more what they paid for it back when it was a very poor area. Thwy Couldnt sell their terrible property and buy something else secluded and beautiful with the pennies their property is worth now.
rps Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Real people don't want some "party cove" movie filmed in their front yard. dtrs5kprs 1
jtram Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Nope, but their property values have sky rocketed. If they find their current situation unpleasant, they are perfectly able to change their setting. I know how to fish for days without seeing a soul. Wanna relax on a quiet shore with nobody around? Do it. There are still plenty of places where it is possible. Fewer than 10, 20, 40 yrs ago? You bet! Still doable? Yup! If you find your quiet place on a popular place unpleasantly busy, sell it and find your quiet place. I pray for my pasture to become party cove. That's my ticket to a bigger chunk of a quiter place on God's great earth!
fishinwrench Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 These folks are digging their own hole. They wanna own and operate huge boats....but when they get back to their home area they want a nice calm/quiet cove. Problem is: everywhere you can go in your huge boat is SOMEBODY'S home area, so everyone causes problems for somebody everytime they leave their house. Too rough to ski or tube, and finding a chill area to swim is getting harder and harder. All they can do now is ride around in their big boats while wearing expensive swim wear.... and look at each other. Boring ! Stopping at a lakeside place for a burger and a drink cost like hell because the restaurants have to install ultra heavy duty docks and wave breaks. That extra 8 bucks per burger is what it takes just to have a halfway safe place to park your boat. It will go full circle before long. I'm thinking it'll happen in my lifetime. Fishermen and genuine water lovers will still be here when this place becomes a comparable ghost town. Those big boat folks don't even like water. I mean look at how clean and dry they always are.

jtram Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Na, the lakes will be crazy for years and years to come. People love to gripe but they still go out, just look at how busy they all are and they just keep coming, year in and year out.
WeekendWarrior Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 It is already changing some, I see more and more pontoon (tritoon) boats on lake. I doubt the big boats will ever leave us though.
nomolites Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Was just at a gathering at the clubhouse of Regatta Bay yesterday and it was clear to me as I took in that perspective of "my" lake that what these folks want and need and what I want are two radically different things. That likely extends well beyond the walls of their condo community; more power to them but I must respectfully pass. Mike

When gas goes up to $10/gallon and those boats cost a couple grand to run a weekend that might happen. But then again, by then they will have solar powered boats made by Tesla or something that go ludicrous speed. -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson
MOPanfisher Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 I don't recall any lake with homes right on the shoreline that has ever gone from a big boat party place back to a calm quiet one. If gas gets expensive they will just park in a cove somewhere instead of running around. I say keep them at LOZ and TR, keeps the rest of the lakes quieter.
fishinwrench Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Look at Dogpatch. Nashville. Nothing lasts forever. Not to offend any that happen to be listening, but I've had dealings with quite a few of "those people" and the majority of them really aren't very sharp IMO. How they managed to earn the kinda coin they like to display is beyond me. Something tells me they either stole it or had it given to them. Easy come/Easy go.
