There are a handful of private land owners on the north end of the lake. What’s up with those 2 tennis courts atop the hill in the cove on the NW side upper end?

[/quote] Enforcement of fish and games laws? Or bust balls on guys that may have a equipment/registration mistake on their boats?  Money grab. [/quote] I had a good conversation with the GM while he was checking on credentials. One of the guys didn't have a fishing license and the GM gave him the option to purchase it online or a ticket. I thought that was pretty fair considering.

Front license plates are a huge way to protect natural resources and prevent drownings. DUH! Money grab.

Sometimes When My twins got the driver license we did not have a front plate on the car and they told us we could not use that car. Had to find the plates. Them trying to Parallel Park in my suburban was a no go. The Honda was much easier.

I can assure you they care very little about the income tickets generate. I can assure you that what they don't like is people abusing the resources, spreading invasive species, and pulling dead bodies out of lakes where people are being unsafe and stupid. Be legal and polite and the interaction will be a good one. They were waiting at the gate for people abusing resources? Possibly, but doubtful. Or digging out dead bodies? That is done on the lake…not at the exit to the park. They weren’t there to check live wells at the gate. Haha. Y’all keep thinking all the positive ya want. They were checking boat registrations and vehicle registrations like always. Checking to make sure the money has been pumped into the system. All you can do is be legal, smile and wave. …..and play their game. Registration, vehicle registration, etc is part of their job. I loved to write registration tickets. You get it registered before court date and they dismissed it. People were usually happy that I wrote that and not for speeding. I don't really know why people would complain about them doing their job. Just be legal before you go. It isn't that hard

I have known no less than 15 Game Wardens in my life including one now that is a very close friend. I have only ever met 1 warden that just generally had a bad attitude every time I was ever around him. Like others have said, if you aren't doing anything wrong and have your stuff in order, it's 5 minutes and generally a very pleasant experience and if you play it right you can get a heck of a fishing report. Chris you must have met our old GW in Graham if you met 1 bad one.

I've had more than one source say the one that used to be up on Texoma was the biggest POS in Grayson county, there are some bad bad apples out there.

January 2022 we did a trip to Falcon and at the county ramp a couple of GW's were there. One was a fine young senorita that wanted to inspect my boat. I let her know I was open to a body search if she felt it necessary. Ask ol T Bird if that's not the truth! She was a hottie!!
