OTHER:  Fished with Wayne.  There was lot of fog on the river when we walked in, and though the river was still dropping, it was packed with people.  I found a slot across the island from Ol’ Charlie’s and managed a dozen fish over the course of an hour, all caught on the Dunn’s Dun being stripped.  A slot opened up at Ol’ Charlie’s and I moved over there and three guys immediately walked in on me from Ol’ Charlie’s.  I didn’t say anything to them about intruding on my space, but did let them know that they were renting the place illegally as the property was both zoned residential and no business license had been issued, and, in addition, it violated the subdivision covenants.  They responded that it appeared perfectly legal to them as they saw it on the internet!  Oh, well, another one for the courts to decide.  I decided to go home because of the “overcrowded” conditions, and wasn’t in the mood to fish anymore.
