    how about this??
    charge every one coming in an extra 200 bucks on their credit card regardless of what they are using,wheel house,shack,shanty,flip over what ever,give them an ID number with the understanding their area will be checked when they leave and video taped.

    if there is ANY trash what so ever left when they leave,they dont get a refund period.

    those that have a urinating contest over it are probably your violators to begin with and they can just turn around and go some where else,if they can afford some of the equipment you see being towed around these days,a couple of hundred bucks wont turn them around.

    sure,its going to require a bit more man power to cover this and you may lose a bit of business, but I wonder if its cheaper in the long run versus what it costs to get rid of the tonnage of trash left over.

    ya,I know,there I go thinking again.

    Yep that will work. We can use the same people we use at our open water accesses.
    Though, can we trust everyone to wake them up before entering the lake?

    It’s a real shame that so called sportsmen with a weak mentality cause us all to lose access to hunting and fishing privileges for these exact reasons.

    Does this qualify as garbage?

    The sad truth in all of this, is the fact that it will always be brought to the people who do care, and who do clean up. We all see this happening. Most of us pick up what we can when we see it. I feel like a lack of parenting in these people’s lives is a key factor. It’s called being an adult.
    JUST DO BETTER

    I just hope these people understand that by leaving garbage everywhere it is only diminishing our chances of being able to fish those bodies of water. if garbage keeps piling up to the bottom of the lake, there won’t be a lake to fish.

    I feel it’s everyone’s responsibility to help keep the water and forests clear of garbage. Not just the people who care.
