Disposal will be provided. If you have any gar you are not weighing, please get
rid of them in advance if possible. At no time are any fish to touch the parking
lot. We do not need fish slime on this parking lot period. If you drop a fish
onto the parking lot, you will not be allowed to weigh this fish and you will be
required to clean the mess up. We understand there will be a little mess
unavoidably but we need to do everything we can to minimize this or it will be
put to quick end, this is a place of business, not a boat ramp.
