They are not voting for it's removal. The docks are adding to the structure. many are brushed and provide shade , most people move to Fork to fish and probably the majority of them bass fish. Heck, my guess is the boat houses and docks (that are large and have boats sitting in them) provide the only place the bass can get away from the relentless fishing pressure from the bank beaters. For the development, I think it is less about grass on Fork and more about the natural shoreline being replaced by manicured lawns, sharp edges, docks and sea-walls.

Most of ours came on top water (buzzbaits and showerblows) and chatterbaits. Seemed to be in the second grass line from the bank.

Saturday during the tournament we caught 25-30 fish total. some good unders and some big slot fish off of beds. it was too windy and cloudy to see them, so we backed off and threw buzzbaits and flukes at them all day. lost one that was 10+ pounds that we marked the day before. she bit and jumped 3 times within 10' of the boat before she came loose... still finished in the top 3 out of 120 in the tournament.
