I have no problem with responsible people fishing, but PLEASE STOP leaving knives, hooks, blood and guts all over our new benches and walkways!!

Sorry, there were so many requests on this debate that looks like this one did not get closed out. The no-fishing regulation was temporarily removed from the Pardee Seawall while the Ft. Hale Pier was out of service. Thanks to the Grant Funding championed by Sen. Looney the pier was transferred to the CIty (was state owned) and we have completed phase one improvements with the completion of the pier last year. Phase two is underway with improved lighting, water access, new trash receptacles, a repaved parking lot and pedestrian pathways, improvements are expected to be completed by mid-summer. As access for fishing is restored at Ft. Hale the regulation as been reinstated at the Pardee Seawall .
