I heard the same thing. I heard about the cut backs last year. I heard from my co-workers here on base that they pulled in the bouys. But when I was out on the weekend of the 11th there was bouys at the refueling dock, west of sherman. I haven't checked the bouys at the piers lately.

You have seen people fishing on the big peir on Saturdays because they have a fishing tournyment put on as fund-raisers. 10.00 a person and a prize at the end of the day. Weigh in is at 1400 onit starts at 0600.If you are military, active or retired, DOD employee, or dependant then come on and fish.

I on the other hand, fish the piers at evening or night. I have been run off, but not in a long time. When they come by and kick you out, just say ok, thanks and move on. I try my luck and sometimes I am only there for 5 mins before they show up, other times I may not get told to leave all night.

There are 4CAMERAS there, so your not being as sneaky as you think when trying to get in close. 2 cameras on the bigpier. One looking into the U and one looking out of the U. It is just a matter if the have the manning or the time to bust you or not. Before the fence was put up and before I got my boat. We used to get there before day break and fish until we got busted and told to leave.
