The last 2 weeks I fished (5-8 & 5-3) the dumpster was moved from the parking lot up to the pay booth area...this was at Oak Thicket...

Thank you Vogey.
I can also let anyone who wants to sniff the front deck of my boat. The carpet still smells despite my using vinegar, bleach, and a variety of pet odor removers. And there’s a few bones still in my live well from the decaying carcasses.

Have a nice day.

I suppose an apology for implying I’m a liar is out of the question.

Have a nice day.

Well at least we know one of us ain’t square with the truth. Noted.

Have a nice day.

Rules are usually made because people can't just fish and have a good time. Some push the limits until rules are changed that effect the ones that follow the rules. I will have a good day.

I'll give you a good example. There are "no boaters" buoys at Lake Bastrop's water intake. I couldn't tell you how many times I have fished that area and seen someone fishing WAY beyond the buoys. Yes, I would love to fish that somewhat virgin area, but I do not. It's the rules.

I have to agree this is all because of the cast netters. I was out there on May 10th and saw 3 boats cast netting. I was fishing a spot, moved to another and a boat cast netting was right in the spot I was going to and one deep in the cove. Went back to the first spot and there was a boat cast netting on the point of the cove. I went to my spot, several hundred yards from the boat. There were 6 people on the boat, 4 cast netters, a person helping to clean the nets, and the 6th was the trolling motor. They worked their way to within 100 ft of me then left. About an hour later a second boat, with 4 cast netters, starts working the opposite side of the cove I was on. They worked the entire side then left. That boat came by 2 more times in the next hour or so and left when they saw I was still there. When they were cast netting they were whooping and hollering and if I knew Spanish I could have understood their entire conversations. After they left the cove was full of floating young grass debris.

It needs to be banned on that lake.

Cast Netting has ruined the grass growth on Fayette...it needs to stop!

It also messes up the sunfish spawning beds. Unfortunately, no one has been successful at making it stop & there has been petitions etc. ...Any ideas ?

There is that saying, "be careful what you ask for" and I'm sure TPWD and others are aware of the problem.
It may just get worse, but continuing to report the abuse may be about all you can do.
That squeaky wheel just needs to continue to squeak!

I exclusively fish Fayette for sunfish. The cast netters destroyed my favorite Sunfish bedding area amongst the canes a couple years ago. It's never been the same again. They walk through all the sunfish beds in the shallow flats areas too, upsetting all those beds. On the other side, I worry that the Tilapia population would explode and destroy the sunfish population if they weren't harvested.
