Thank you all for your quick responses. A 50.oo fee sounds fair to me if all of you agree, I am still working on when I will close down the open business and when it will re-open. The thing is I can't sit down at the dock throughout the winter only bringing in 5 or 10 dollars a day, I have to work another job half the year to keep the dock open, I hope you all can understand this. However, this may change next year and I may be able to keep the dock open year around. But if the fishing is limited in the winter it will garantee better fishing in the Spring, Summer, and Fall.

As for any tournaments you would like to start during the weekends, I am up for it and even during the off season we can schedule events that I will be able to run and get judges for. I will be at the dock all weekend from 8:00am to 6:00pm to discuss this in person (maybe later)

I will handle traffic as needed. I am not concentrating on heavy advertisement and I doubt it will become a problem. Most of the business will come to the bait shop, I don't think they will all stay and fish the creek. I bought out Duff's baitshop in Lexington so I will probably pick up their clientel. If traffic becomes a problem just tell me and we will get it taken care of even if that envolves limiting customers per day or pre scheduled events.

I will also make sure every tournament is posted in the new bait shop so the customers will be aware. So, don't worry there won't be any surprize pop up tournaments after you are already on the water.


I know this whole situation is aggrevating, however, once the troublemakers are weeded out after this year (which I garantee will happen) we will be able to come up with an easier system. Just the other day I had a family thank me because they felt safe to bring their children down to camp without worrying about drunks busting bottles, fights, or theft for the first in about five years. This is when I knew I was doing the right thing. Just hang in there and I promise I will turn Fryman's Boat Dock into not only a better family experience but a better fishing environment. I am not out to make a killing, I am just out to make a living and give you the best form of escape and entertainment that I can. Thankyou again for your comments and concern.
