Port O'Connor has gotten out of control - Page 4

I have been fishing down there for 20 years and yes it has exploded. On the flip side of it I do see a lot of people who apparently stop and fish in a spot they are not aware of being and entry or exit from back lakes. I have had people look at me like I was crazy because they were anchored on the mouth of shoalwater....if any of you know that is not the largest entry out there and you almost have to hit it dead on or your !@#$%. Im an not arguing the fact that it is out of control with a bunch of out of towners not knowing where to go or proper boat etiquett. I can remember when me and a buddy of mine used to shoot dove out of his font yard.....only thing there was Alvins and the shamrock.

The homes being buuilt on the islands from cedars to greens is sickening... that just sucked when it started happening. Looks like a ghetto on the horizon coming from POC.

do you not drive a car because you might get cut off, do you not eat unhealthy food because you might get sick....you can't control what others do in their lives, all you can do is control your own...

when you wake up each day, you make a choice for it to be a bad day or a good day...same as fishing, someone cuts off your drift, motors threw your hole while you are fishing, you can either make it a bad situation or you can just laugh it off and continue to fish and enjoy just one more day on the water...

when you wake up in the morning you make a choice to fish over populated/fished waters or find a more relaxed enjoyable environment. Its not a few stupid people its allot of very experienced fishermen looking for a enjoyable relaxing trip. If we wants crowds we drive down I-10 or go to POC.

wow IJ and trouthunter.... thats like saying i dont remember the old matagorda when you saw 5 boats all weekend. heaven forbid some a young guy could fish the same places yall do. If clint is 22 as i am he has probably been fishing with family there for at least a decade. i think its safe to say he has seen the number of boats triple.

i relize yall were from a time before everyone had boats and the knowledge...trust me i wish no one had GPS and did it by knowing what was where, but the number of times i have seen people bash a young person for saying something is rediculous.

if you dont think POC or the entire coast for that matter has changed in the past 10 years, your as ignorant as your comments to clint

and yeah...id love for matagorda and POC to be what it was 10 years ago.

You mean ten years ago... when you were 12? One day you'll have a different perspective... when you are old like all us old foagies.
