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.
