The problem isn't the fisherman it's the drunk fisherman and the ignorant ones.The problem with the dock is, there was a drunking fisherman who walked out on the docks he tripped, fell and then sued.So the old man who owns the docks made it off limit and now there is a-holes that still walk out on the dock Which is now why there are signs.As far as fishing behind the police station last year there were only a few cops who enforced.Yet again the a-holes ruined that because somebody a fisherman broke into one of the cops pesonal cars.Now if you get caught behind there its a $125 .00 citation.You are aloud to fish of the boat launch dock, the main dock and the rocks in city park.If you have a boat your allset just dont leave anything of any value in your truck or car.
