This is something I posted on another fishing club's Facebook page....
A little common courtesy goes a long way, especially at a public boat ramp. Our club had a tournament out of the Oak Grove ramp yesterday, March 28th. Upon arrival at the ramp in the morning, we discovered there were multiple clubs launching from that location, so we pushed the end of our event back 30 minutes to help ease any congestion at the ramp. Imagine our surprise, and disgust, to see your club occupying the docks while you weighed in at the end of the dock. We fish solo, therefore we have to tie up while retrieving our tow vehicles. You had the docks tied up for an hour, which showed no respect to any others that were trying to use that ramp, and our club was not the only ones trying to get out. In the future please consider others that may need to use the docks and ramp, our public image is something that we as fishermen need to keep positive.
