All great ideas guys and most of them have been posted before on WB and have been told to the board at one of their meetings. Where is the money going to come from to research this the state is saying it is broke. If you want to know how broke you can get a copy of the Comprehensive annual financial report as every state puts them out and they usually go to the major corporations in that state. Their are solutions Cornell University has studied this issue more than anyone I have found yet go to

Personally my money will be going to the attorney as my friend owns the local tackle shop and even though he is at Fred Hall right now I know this will end up in litigation.

A rumor has started that someone wants to build homes around the lake and turn it into a private lake. I know nothing of the validity of that and was under the impression that the land around the lake belonged to the lake so it could protect the watershed but I am not absolutely sure about that either.

Life was awesome for a while I put in a lot of hard work that paid off in a great FD job and an old Ranger boat that I worked very hard on to get nice with 6 sqft of hanging swimbait storage and thousands in swimbaits to fish Casitas mon > thu. I had it all guys but now I have to go to Piru about an hour away. Thats OK at least there is still a lake to fish for now it just doesnt have fat Florida strain trout fed bass in it. For a recreational fisherman I was living the dream.

Peace
