Corona lake I have one question for you. Why raise the price of float tube launch? And why not make it free like Irvine lake?

Who are these "some lakes"? Your answer to most of the questions is well "some lakes" are worse than we are so tpugh. Who are you talking about because I actually see the same quality fish being caught at other lakes and I rarely see a "skunked @irvine" report. Getting skunked at Corona or SARL seems like the norm.
You know what's funny? I was reading back on the math posted by the lakes admin and their reasoning is that each person will catch $60 of fish and it costs them $25 to stock those fish. Well if that was truly the case you guys would have closed your business down already. Every good businessman knows that gross profit should be about 3x that of production costs. So basically, this more fish for us to catch argument is bogus. Corona and SARL expect each fisherman to either get skunked or catch 1-2 fish. If this wasnt their mentality they wouldnt have been open all these years. If you want to make it all about the $$$ then at least be real about it.
Just sayin', they claim their stocking average is 3lb per fish, but from what I've seen it's more like 1.5 lb per fish... But at Irvine the fish we caught ranges from 2 to 6, which is better. I just hope the stocking quality gets better.
This is true too. The catfish ok they are rare and expensive, but does that mean you will lower the price when trout season comes around? Because I know you guys are not paying that much for those little 1/2-1lb trout. And if you're not lowering prices for trout, there goes another hole in your argument.
Every buisness puts a price on it's product based on their own determination of what the market will allow and what is necessary to hit the profits they desire. If the lakes have made a mistake they will find out about it, if not then they will be successful, simple stuff.
The only mistake I think they are making at this point is getting into a discussion on the Internet regarding the pricing of their product. They will never win this discussion and neither will you guys, it is not in their best interest to disclose profit and loss nor their overhead costs, it really is none of you guys buisness, nothing wrong with being upset and discussing it on here but I think they are making a BIG mistake trying to respond.
