    Default Bathtubs and Barrels


    Is it just me? Driving around the banks of Eufaula this past weekend seeing all the bathtubs, barrels, and t-posts to tie them too, I couldn't help but be a little annoyed at the folks who use this technique to fish. Not only does it trash up the lake but if you've ever hit one of those things with your boat you will not like it. I was wondering if emails to the Corp might create some thought for cleanup actions. I don't begrudge anyone their rights to fish but I can't help thinking this needs to be stopped.

    It is illegal "to use and/or place into lakes and reservoirs of this state" any structure, etc. which attract fish into an open cavity within the container. I know of no such state statute applying to brush piles.
