A few of those folks drowned every year. The numbers of fishermen have went up about 4000 percent since 1975. Keith Meals with game and fish has done a great job. He doesn't have control of 20 Game Wardens to work the reservoirs. Heck game and fish will tell you if you call Jackson Sardis is a flood control reservoir. Therefore the do as much Law Enforcement vas the people demand!!!!!!! Years ago on Sardis they had sum hard working Game Wardens they all retired and or died about 15 years ago!!! How many days have you seen a game warden this year on the lake??? Enough said!!! I was fishing out of Coon Town landing yesterday in whites bottom area and had to hide from lead zooming thru the trees!!!!! Yes live fire right at us!!! Drunks ,Gun No Law I'm done!! And
Hey man I had same thing happen to me over there that day. We got shot at 3 times I could hear the bullets and then it would hit the branches above me. That old boy was just trying to keep folks out his fishing hole. What he doesn't understand is that those bullets can hit the limbs and richochet and hit someone. I notified my panola county sherif and he is working with the Lafayette county department to straiten that deal out. I wouldn't quit doing what u like for a few dumb greedy guys out there. They will get what's coming to them
