    They do stuff like that around here too. Sucks they can get away with it. The ramp is still a public ramp ?
    I'm going to get someone to drop me off one day.
    It looks to good to pass up and only 35 minutes away.
    Looks like I'm going to fish with my buddy Jazz a day.
    Looking forward to that
    I still need a couple other places. If anyone has any other ideas. Crooked may be to windy, Jackson is definitely a maybe. Its 2 hours away though.
    Thanks for all the help so far.

    You are staying near Lake Pierce. That can be a really good lake. Was with a buddy that caught his PB there 10 and change. I have hosted 2 mega bucks style tournaments there. Rotate holes every hour. we have caught them pretty good there. Marion is also another choice.

    Here is what we have done to use that ramp but you need two people, we launch the boat then my buddy stays there and I drive the truck and trailer back to that shopping center and park the truck and trailer, then I ride a bike back to the ramp, lock the bike up there and go fish, and when done ride the bike back up to get the truck and trailer. Done that for years until a few weeks back. They now just put up signs in the mall parking lot stating they will tow your truck and trailer if you park there. And like I mentioned earlier, they used to have trailer parking at the ramp for anyone that had a handicap placard, but not anymore, they even removed those. It's pretty disgusting. The thing is there is not even that many fisherman on those lakes, It's just mostly the spoiled little rich brats running around with their daddies big dollar ski boats. Like I said, Lake Jackson is a real neat little lake that I'm sure you would enjoy.

    I hate that kind of stuff. I wonder if it would be legal on Sunday to park at the post office. Do we the people own that property? I would use every loop hole I could. Drives me crazy.

    The way things are I guess it would depend on what group the government sees you in. Over the past, the government has shown they don't give a damn about some.

    Any tackle shops in the area besides Bass pro to get a license ? Been trying online, it says $30 for 7 day non resident but when I go to check out it keeps coming up $190.
    Something is messed up, I'll just buy it there.
