That is kind of funny Sam. As we get older things like that just seem to happen. Hang on to the half you retrieved, someone reading here may "land" the other half.

Walt, The wind was pretty brisk & the waves must have pushed it under the dock where it drops off a little,because of my back I couldn't reach under it with a long handled net that I keep in the truck. The only good thing was that when it happened there was no one else on the lake. lol  but a few people showed up at dusk.With the mostly overcast afternoon I though that I would do better than I did. I only got a couple of small bass on jigs.  PS my wife & I went to the picnic on Sun. that the Jacobs Creek Watershed held,I thought that you might be there.  sam

Wally, Grass needs cut again,but not bad. They use porta johns now,which seems to be working well. However, the trash problem is still bad. As soon as the County emptys the hopper, the in-breds show up with their household garbage. As of yesterday the hopper was still overflowing with trash all around it & the barrels near the pavilion were overflowing also. There is talk of them taking away the hoppers , which I think would be best & also of closing the park at dark,which I tried to convince them was a BAD idea. We need someone who cares enough to maybe take pictures of the mess & present them to the Fayette Cnty Commisoners at a County meeting. I can't do this because I live in Westm;d Cnty. I talked to the leader of the JCWA at the picnic about the possibility of finding some org. that would sponsor reg. trash pick-up. If anyone reading this has any ideas they can p.m. me & I will try to forward them. BTW this is not an invitation for some of the TROLLS on here to chime in. Also I know that a lot of us do pick up after others & I hope that others will consider doing the same. Just carry a plastic bag with you,it is not hard to do. Also get the kids started early.   sam

Cold, That is a good idea,maybe even a trail camera? Must be locals, because they don't have required trash collection in their zoning laws & the dumping starts the same day the dumpsters are emptied & they don't empty them at any certain time or day. The problem exists everywhere there are dumpsters with easy access. Westm'd Cnty has the same prob. so they eliminated the dumpsters in slow periods of use.  sam

I like the trail camera idea until it only gets stolen..

Was out this evening,got the other half of my trap pretty easily. The lake was down a little,didn't have any trouble finding it. Got a couple of small bass on top,saw a coup;e of guys get a few small bass on crawlers on the bottom. Thought I would do better because the weather was perfect. Actualy doing a lot worse than previous years on top.  sam

Back when the "negative element" was present, there were plenty of fish and not as much trash. Now it's nothing but a garbage dump. Makes me wonder who the real negative element is/was. I'm sure a lot of the garbage is from locals, but that place is crawling with people all the time. I liked it better when people were unnecessarily afraid to go there.

If they would just replace the lights and add cameras directly under them. Maybe that would stop some of the midnight garbage runs. Well... Until someone shoots the cameras, anyway. I'd hate to see the lake closed off at night, but if locking people out will fix the problem. So be it.
 
Sadly, the garbage along the shoreline would more or less stay the same. I know those empty night crawler containers are heavy, but if you have the strength to carry them in full. Surely, carrying them out empty can't be that hard. Since they're left lying everywhere, I guess my way of thinking is wrong.

This is unrelated to Green Lick but... I posted a thread on the off topic board, regarding Beanie. The owner of the store in Bridgeport. He was beaten badly last night and his attackers NEED to be found.

Beanie has the little store right in Bridgeport. He does sell bait, but it's a regular store.

I think the police have a name of one of the suspects but are unable to track the low life transient bum down. He's a dope user and runs with the same with no known address or legal residence.
