Remember the trespassers who had the 200+ horsepower bass boat? The got their day (it was actually evening) in City court this past week. The verdict? If you are a trespasser using bait on our lake...you are going to get the switch! $500 fine, the max, and 90 days in jail, suspended. Safe to say you won't see those boys in these parts anymore. 7 trespassers fined in all, some unaccompanied guests. One nuisance fine=max. Court watchers do not recall anything like the get tough attitude of Judge Roper, certainly not from the previous judge who ran a very lenient court. Roper promised to be fair but tough...wow, an elected official who actually delivers. WLIC members can help...be vigilant on the lake, access areas and obey the rules, it's that simple.
You might have noticed my blog to the left http://www.barryroadbridge.blogspot.com/ I didn't want to absorb space daily to the BRB here, plus I have a number of readers from Wildwood and beyond who wanted to see news on the BRB. Just click over there, I have been posting daily. I will on occasion do BRB stuff here as well. By the way, if you are using the Unofficial Detour Route through Wildwood, the speed limit is 25MPH just like here in WL.

Our children, who grew up at Weatherby Lake (but no longer living here), come over to visit sometimes with our grandchildren. If they go to C Point will they be considered trepassers and fined? They look at this as their home. We only have a couple of visitors bracelets and many grandchildren. Should we put them on the WLIC list? Assume the parks are public and not a problem. We are lakefront. Assume they are not trespassers if we are not home and they go down to our private dock. I hava a fair understanding of the rules but with so many children and grandchildren who have Weatherby Lake water running in their veins, where is the line drawn?
http://www.wlic.org/ can provide answers on rules/regs and/or you can call the office as indicated.
