Nothing better to do...

[MAC]

I've fished a certain spot in Hull for around 10 years. Always quiet going to and coming from my truck and Never leave any trash or a mess.

Last night (or rather early this morning) I get back out to my truck to find a ticket on the windsheild. (parking in a no parking zone)

Where we park there is room for 2 maybe 3 vehicles at most. There used to be a No Parking From here to Corner sign and eveyone respected that. The parking spots are on the other side of the arrow and have been used for years.


THe sign has been down for atleast 4 years (probably due to a snowplow) and everybody still respects where it used to be as far as I know. I know I do when I fish that spot.


So after finding the ticket I remove my waders and load my gear. I then walk up the street looking for a sign....... I find one that is (probably the one the plow took out )100' further up than it used to be. It is just pushed in the ground like a neighbor did it to keep fisherman away. It was leaned over at about 60 degrees and looked like it could be pulled out or pushed over by a 10 year old kid.
The post wasn't set in concrete or even attached with bolts to snap off if hit . Just a sign post pushed into the ground haphazardly. If it was pushed in a foot I would have been surprised. Though I'll never know as I left it standing as it was.

Is Hull that strapped for cash to write a parking ticket at 1:35AM..... I got one as did the fisher who was parked behind me. They know no one will fight the ticket as it isn't worth the effort for 20 bux.


Then to top it off as I'm driving away here comes the cruiser like he was on the prowl.....
