Not everyone can afford a cart, but unfortunatley there really isn't any place to put their spare rods due to the fact that most of the spare space on the pier houses has seating around it. I wish we could get one of the rod holders like Pcola has. I think it would really help with some of the clutter around the seating areas.

They have rod racks but they keep them down at the pier house. Might be a good suggestion to say maybe bolt down a couple on the octi to cut down on the rods everywhere some days.

There really isn't anything quite like walking up to the rail and unknowingly leaning into a nice mix of fishguts and bait. Makes my skin cringe, the octi's looking pretty dirty from all the trash and filth lately. Good thing for the rain or the place would never look clean.

Since I typically get there very early, I can say most of the fish guts are coming from the midnight crowds who are attempting to catch some certain... bottom feeding fish.. prior to daylight hours. oke1:

If pier management would get off its a$$ and have the octi power washed every other day, most of those problems wouldn't be so bad. But, oh hell no. They're gonna wait until someone gets hurt badly before they do anything. :spank:

Why don’t all the physically fit fisherman show up in the middle of the night once in a while armed with water hoses & nozzles and just start washing away the mess along with the pigs that made the mess.
Also that would be a good time for the pier staff to break out the power washer and do the same!

The mess the night pigs make is more than the staff can handle, IMHO

Thats why you wont see me running around barefoot out ther. Its a wonder no onegets a stray hook in the foot more often. I think its mostly the nocturnal crowd thats the messiest!

We're not going to put this all on pier staff.

Most of us early birds rinse the rails and deck off prior to the sun coming up voluntarily.

There just needs to be others who are willing to do the same when certain of us aren't around.

Also, if those night hawks would clean up after themselves, this would go away entirely.

The ones leaving the mess are NOT tourists. I see them often, and they know who they are.

Pig or idiot? You decide.
This was about 10 minutes after I pointed out the little sign and explained what it means!
btw, cooler appeared to be full of Skippies

The more I read that sign, the more confusing it gets. I swear it says it is okay to have one rod a chair and a chest at the rail.

That had to have been written by a lawyer.

Short of writing it properly, if they had simply put parenthses around the (chairs, chests, etc) it would have worked.
Not a lawyer, someone who missed sentence construction and punctuation altogether.

The sign wording has been something I've fussed about for awhile.

It is one of those things that we all know exactly what message it is conveying, but some people will pretend it doesn't apply to them because it is improperly worded and punctuated. :spank: :spank:

Not that fishermen ever play dumb about things...
