A simple Question

[ramman123]

DO any of the Stockton Night fishermen/women have an issue with the so called partying Loud music at Mutton Creek Marina

[mikeak]

Nope,live and let live.

I do, even though I haven't been on Stockton since 2002 and have no plans to visit there anytime soon.  I am strongly opposed to it because I know far too well how it is and what it's like.

Doesn't matter though, you can't stop it.  Once a place gets loud, crowded, and rowdy it either stays that way or gets even worse.  I challenge you to name just one place that was once quiet and peaceful, then turned wild and crazy, and now is quiet and peaceful again.  And Camp Zoe, Times beach, and Chernobyl don't count.

Fishinwrench, i am tryin to make a point to MOCARP that most people that use the lake for night fishing arent as bothered by the noise or just put up with it.

Times are changin and it seems the older generation is getting more hacked off with the changes, yes i dont always like change myself but is every so called battle/issue worth a fight 

People that be come that disgruntled about every lil issue about an area in my opinion just needs to either deal with it or just stay away from said specific location, Stockton is a good size great lake and if u dont like the way it produces in an area im sure there are other areas that produce just as well

[ramman123]

the only way it might get stopped is if things were getting out of hand and LE/Water Patrol/Game wardens/county Commisoners thought it to be a big hazard or problem area then they would talk with Owner if nothing comes of it the Owner has a RIght to Own a business

Rockaway Beach in the late 60's was very rowdy until Taney County built a barbed wire stockade. Look at it now.

I had a little run in with the law in the 80's in Rockaway Beach.  Judge wore house slippers in court.  That place is a ghost town now.

Familiar story, only my expierence was in the 60s with a friend that had to pay an outrageous speeding ticket on the spot in a backroom.

The courtroom was his office in this little municipal building that used to be a house I think.

Rockaway Beach is nothing like the old days, and the "issues" at stockton are not even in the same league.  Loud music vs. Drugs, power drinking, motorcycles etc etc.   When we as fisherman are able to complain about one area making too much noise while we are fishing in an otherwise quiet and beautiful area, well life must be pretty good over all.
