During the holiday weekend, the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) will take part in Operation Dry Water, a national boating under the influence enforcement campaign with the goal of removing impaired operators from the water and raising awareness of the dangers of boating under the influence.
MDWFP will increase boating enforcement efforts by utilizing all available Conservation Officers to patrol Mississippi's waterways and conduct safety checkpoints.

Ill actually be either on the White River or returning from Arkansas this holiday weekend. I honestly dont recall consuming alcohol on the Rez, so it doesnt affect me anyway.
Don't know about all waters. On the big 4 they are COE lakes and not suppose to have any alcohol. Guess that could include the waterway.
Years ago at the Tail Race campground at Pickwick a member of our fishing group filled his cooler and placed the empty carton in the fire pit. A ranger for TVA came by and saw it. Joe had to pour out all his beer. Dang, fresh 18 pack.
None for me in the boat. I still have to drive home. The expense of that ticket would buy a new boat
It's Amateur Hour anyway, this is why we have Weekdays to fish, to avoid the Rookies, Newbies, & Amateurs.
Yep. I was thinking about going to Grenada in the morning but Ive talked myself out of it.Quote:

Well, change of plans. I will be close to witness some of the follies. Going to piney grove boat ramp on bay springs to launch and beach the barge - today is the day to replace bunk boards on trailer. If anyone is out that way stop and visit. I’ll be the scruffy looking guy in the parking lot beating banging drilling sweating and probably cussing [emoji23] But the beer will be at home in the fridge ocifer…

We were there for 4th July weekend 4 years ago. The beaches were closed and every sandy spot was filled. From our campsite we could see the ramp in the campground. The parking lot was full and some campsites had empty trailers. The lake around the campground was buzzing. We kayaked across to Boy Scout Beach early and fought waves returning in the afternoon.
If I wasnt so worried about a board disintegrating and putting a bracket through fiberglass, you can bet Id have waited! I only got one of the 12 foot ones replaced, was fixin to lose my shade - and the stoopid people were getting thicker by the minute.Quote:

Turns out the board was still fairly solid, but the lag screws were rusted away to about half size, and the only thing holding them in was about 50 wraps of duct tape previous owner had put on.
