I agree... you have to take a stand to change things.

So, what is it that you have done, besides as you said previously, caused a stink just by trying to make a marina owner mad?

Have you approached your local legislator? Have you contacted the KDFW? Have you started a petition? Have you, yourself, run for an office on the platform that you can help make the changes you complain about?

I'm just saying, that coming on here and complaining, and saying the same thing, over and over and over does no good. I doubt seriously any of the people who can make a difference even read this board.

I personally won't fish marinas. I won't fish docks that have a boat moored, if there is anyway my lure may hit the boat.... as I have said, I had too much damage to my boat that I used to keep moored at Lake Malone, and then later at Lake Barkley.

I whole heartedly support your right to voice your opinion. I support your right to lead a fight for change. What I comment negatively on is the same people saying the same thing every single time this issue comes up, and none of them being willing to be part of the solution.

It is easy to point out wrongs, it is easy to observe injustices, it is easy to complain, but the courage you talk about, to actually lead change, takes a lot more than what is going on here on the board. If you are running for an office, as Jim D. posted he is, let us know. Let the fishermen who do want to fish marinas support you in your fight for the justice. Then when you are in the right position, lead your fight to overturn the signed contracts already in place, the precedents set in courts. Just do it in the right places.

Good luck Rodney... you seem to voice a lot of good ideas, and you seem to have a lot of energy... I look forward to seeing your positive results.

I agree with Danny in that this same thread comes along every few months. Those that get all up in arms about the situation only complain...they never do anything to try to change it....they just want to complain and hope someone else will do the work required to get the situation changed.

Now, I am not going to lock the thread...if complaining here about this makes you feel better..go for it (as long as you obey the rules)...if you think your complaining here is going to change it...you have another think coming.

I will say that I am getting tired of the remarks concerning the administration of this board. It is a violation of the board rules to post complaints here on the board about the administration of this site...if you read the rules you will find the proper way to address your complaints. Most of the deletions I have made recently did not concern the topic at hand...they were deleted because someone could not stick to the topic..they had to complain about the administration of the board in their post...take heed of this if you want your posts to remain on the board.
