9/8/14 Lake Closed Am

[Big-Bob]

Hey, just giving everyone a heads up that the lake was closed this morning. Make sure you call if you plan on trying to fish this afternoon.

It amazes me that the lady calling the shots is not even at the lake and is calling the shots from in between her sheets at home. I have been going to the lake 3 times a week for 3 months now and I can see the place going downhill (poor management) just from when I started going. On the way home it was so sunny on the 15 freeway I had to use my sun shade.

I have noticed a few times lately people giving the front gate workers a hard time. Just remember that they are not calling the shots and most of the time have no/little say in what is going on.

Did they give a reason why the lake was closed? Are they blue-stoning it? The folks that work the gate are usually retired or semi retired folks who are staying at the park. The park itself is controlled by the county and the water is owned by I believe EMWD...

[Big-Bob]

It was closed due to weather that was not there when I was there. I hope it rains and lightning/thunders like crazy there today. That way I can justify the $40 it took the get to the lake to be turned away.

I live in Murrieta and as far as I can see and hear, it's still not there. It's cloudy but there is no thunderstorm activity. This is killer topwater weather. Bet DVL and Perris are still open...

The top water bite has been phenomenal and the exact reason I was bummed they did not let us out. I understand they are concerned for our safety but there is a difference when there is lightning/thunder cracking around the lake and when you see the clouds out in the desert lighting up.

It could have been easy to let us on and say "hey if you see us come out in the patrol boat with the lights on automatically head in the lake is closed."

Hopefully they do not pull this tomorrow.

[HawgZWylde]

Yup, we've been on a great early topwater bite the last couple of weeks at Dvl and Perris. At Perris last week I caught my last topwater fish at high noon. Sadly, the nanny state has to administer to those who lack common sense. You see lightning and hear thunder, you get off the lake. I don't get why so many need someone else to do that for them. What a waste of a good morning and a waste of your gas and time. As I type, there is still no thunderstorm activity, just a slight breeze and cloud cover.

We're heading out to DVL tomorrow, man I hope these clouds and slight breeze are still here...

Let's not forget what happened at Lake Henshaw a few years back. When there is any kind of tragedy someone always gets blamed. Captain's of ships are the worst and are Presidents. (Think Bengazi!!!!!!!) lol I'll bet a fair amount of you know the name of the Captain of the Exon Valdez. (Answer) Captain Hazelwood, it didn't hurt that the SMOKERS in the movie Waterworld revered him as their hero. Please remember as patrons at any lake, are hinney's aren't on the line if something goes terribly wrong!!!!!!!

Only Etucker could bring politics into a weather related lake closure.

I thought my comparisons were fair and valid. For example, if someone say was in a tin boat and got struck by lighting and killed. Like what happened at Lake Henshaw a few years back. There would be HELL to pay for the decision maker who opened Lake Skinner on a known day where Thunder storms were predicted. Just like the President after the tragedy at Bengazi, if he didn't have a plan for rapid deployment of troops to protect American lives when threaten. He too would have Hell to pay for such poor decisions making abilities.

Seal, why is it the Independent Conservatives on this board, can throw their political jabs in on any non political threads and no one calls them on it. If you don't believe me I can point it out to you. Just to show you how often they do it, all's I have to do is go back to today and yesterday to prove my point!!!!!!!!!
