One thing that I have proposed to the Parks people is to put a barcode on every yearly pass, with card readers at each park entrance. Most of us would get on the water at first light, IF we could access the ramp. As it is, the parks work on bankers hours, opening somewhere around 6:30 or 7AM. By allowing the fishermen to get on the water at first light, they would be off the water about the time most of the power squadron is just waking up. There are a few die hard skiers that would be out early, but not that many. By allowing anglers to access the water EARLY, alot of pressure would be taken off the resource. They could make the access for pass holders only, eliminating the dummies that would go in to trash the park. It would also require people to buy a yearly pass if they want early access. I have made this proposal several times to the Parks folks, have never gotten a response. I think this is a better proposal than even/odd days !!!
