No fishing today

Took Sandy up to the fishing bardge to do a little fishing, and old man Rivers (not his real name but what he wants to be called) was up there and drunk as usual. Raising heck and spewing the "F" bomb on every other word, so we just left. Too hot to fish from the bank in the middle of the day, so we'll just wait for another day.[:(]

The barge is still there? Dang, I used to fish off it when I was a kid.
Yep, and hasn't changed much. They have made all of the area around it into park and recreational areas. The best thing is, it's airconditioned and heated now.[;)]
Is it the Lewisville barge? I spent many many days out there.
Yep, that's the one.[;)]
Wow, Is old man river Bill or Dale? They were the ones that worked during the day. That was my haunt in like 01-02
He doesn't work there, he just comes up there and runs everyone off because no one can stand to be around him.. I knew his name at one time, but I can't recall it now.
BTW, the management and/or the police could make the place a little more pleasant by ejecting the foul-mouthed lout.
Did you not speak to the manager on duty? He might like to know that two paying customers went elsewhere because his place was a hostile environment.
I never caught a thing at that barge.

If you complain, they will kick him out or at least get him to straighten up for a little while.
I'm just not really bent that way. He was there first and it's a free country, I just choose not to listen to his crap and foul mouth.
Every time I'm there and he's there first, I just move on. If I'm there first, I'll have them do something with him. He too is a paying customer.
The fishing there is either great or dead, no real in betweens.
He is in a public place, using obscene, profane language. That is Disorderly Conduct. Paying customer or not, he is keeping other paying customers from using the facility.
True, but these days I just take care of myself and figure the police have bigger fish to fry, and if the owners wanted to do something about it, they would have before I arrived.
I'm easier to get along with in my old age![}:)]
Did they ever put any money into it? It was pretty rough back ten years ago. The bathrooms could of made a maggot puke.
Not much, but they did do some cleanup and a little improvements. The bathrooms are better, but you still would rather wait until you get home.
