Title: What a joke Weston is. Post by: JackL on November 20, 2007, 07:46:35 AM ....bad enough they put houses over one of my favorite riding spots and surrounded my place with yuppies, now they want to ban fishing!!
Weston holds back fishing ban, instead plans to regulate floating docks WESTON - The city, backtracking on a proposed fishing ban, now only plans to regulate floating docks, a city official said Monday evening. The commission had tentatively approved fishing restrictions in a 3-1 vote earlier this month. Commissioner Daniel Stermer cast the lone dissenting vote, saying he did not think the measure would withstand a court challenge. On Monday night, City Manager John Flint said the ordinance had proven more complex than anticipated. The city is now working on a revised measure that would only prohibit floating docks. A commission vote is expected Dec. 3. As initially written, the ordinance would have required anglers to get permission from homeowners before walking on their property to get to the city's waterways. It would also have made it illegal to fish from city-owned bridges and to use public rights of way to access the city's lakes and waterways for fishing. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/broward/sfl-weston-fishing-1120,0,1614520.story Title: Re: What a joke Weston is. Post by: greenmachine on November 20, 2007, 08:33:41 AM That sucks azz. Back in the 90's. me & my friends used to have a blast fishing for peacock bass in those canals & lakes in the weston area.
Kinda like when we used to ride in the Pembroke Pines area or McNabb. Its all going away. Makes me glad I moved from S.FL. when i did. Great bass fishin in central FL. but no peacock bass to be seen. Those bad boys fight like heck. JackL, if I make the 'plex ride, we have to tip a col'beer. Title: Re: What a joke Weston is.

I have big old peacocks and those crazy carp in the drainage canal across my street, glad I have to throw a rock to hit Weston. I hear you on the beer and looking forward to it. fish the ocean, they cant get you out there Man, you would think that but with the bag limits these days it is getting pretty beat as well. I guess they still let you do it...for now anyway. Title: Re: What a joke Weston is.
