Thread: Beware - Another stinkin Lincoln cutback

I agree about launch fees...I fish Lake Shelbyville all the time and have never paid the fee to launch. I have never received a ticket or a warning. I do , however, abide by the rules when I'm on the lake. I also don't pay when fishing Mill Creek either. However, I do feel that guides should pay a lot higher fees for depleting a natural resource for money. How is it legal to guide on a Corps lake but not legal to guide hunters in Coros ground?

I meant to say "guide hunters on Corps ground."

Unless you are launching at Eagle or Wolf creek, you should pay the launch fee. Consider yourself lucky if you have never received a ticket or warning for it.

Thanks for the advice pigpen, but I'll continue to do it my way. I figure with all the people polluting the lake with stake beds and other "fishermen" cutting down mature oak trees for their own personal fish habitats, the game wardens and Corps have bigger crimes to stop.

The fees they collect help with the upkeep of the ramps and cleaning stations and such. Could you tell me where the Oak trees are that have been cut down and I have been over a lot of the lake and have not seen any stumps where someone has cut any down.

If I knew how to post a photo on here, I would show you where you can go see a huge oak tree that was cut down. I know of at least a dozen that were cut in the last year. The Corps knows about them, they're trying to find out who did it. They already busted one guide this year for putting in stake beds and gave him a hefty fine. They have a good idea who is cutting the trees, getting proof is another thing.

You really don't get it do you? Your such a rebel and you should be proud.
