How about putting a screen on Twin Lakes (Bear Lake) and planting some fish in this member owned lake? Gil promised to do this several year ago and didn't do it. Years ago the Fishing Derby was held here. Somehow we can plant fish in member owned waters of the canal, but can't in Twin Lakes. Twin lakes would be a great place to hold the derby and picnic. Just a reminder, The East side of J Place is also part of Surside.

Since it wasn't that long ago that we paid to clean up Deer Lake I'm pretty sure people know that the East side of J is part of Surfside. So please put that victim card back in your pocket.
There were screens on all the outlets and were checked and cleaned daily for years. What has changed and why?
Answer:
Your not here anymore and because they wanted Neal. That's the best answers I can give you, but I think you already knew that.
You mean they wanted an inexperienced yes man they could control?
Just so I can keep track, does the "they" change every election?
Not lately.
12:17.... Hostile aren't you ? George simply made a statement of fact. Whether fish are planted in Twin Lakes or not doesn't directly affect George's quality of life. It is strange that fish are not planted in this beautiful lake.
Hmmmm. I would say that George wants a nearby place to go fishing. Our money has already been wasted on cleaning up the mudhole, Bear "lake", that is within 100 feet of his property. Why? The board has been guilty of throwing crumbs to the loud mouths in hopes of shutting them up.
This will probably be deleted because it is the truth.
Fact check:
It is Deer Lake that is within 120 feet of my property. Bear Lake is the horse shoe lake located at the Twin Lakes Cabana.
Excuse me for mixing up the which mudhole is which. sorry.
It is Twinlakes the horseshoe shaped one that was stocked with catfish, crappie and bass when I was there trying to create a warm water fishery in that lake.
Did it work Bob, did the fish thrive?
As a matter of fact, the fish did well there. They even reproduced. I saw many breaking water there and people fishing. The screen was removed by the County because it was on the County road right of way. It was supposed to be relocated on Surfside property. With Bob's departure, it never happened. Deer lake also has fish in it now. Not sure what kind, but have seen them many times off 324th Place. Years ago, Bear lake was stocked with trout and the fishing derby was held there. It was screened.
As for the repeated comment referring to Deer and Bear lakes as mud holes, yes they are muddy every Spring. This is because the returning ducks are digging up the bottom looking for food. I have witnessed this every year that I have lived here. This happens for a couple of weeks every year. You will notice that they are both clear now. These waters do not require the chemical treatment that the canal does.
Good to hear that some of the warm water fish were able to establish themselves. At one point I was trying to come up with a cheap way to hold more water in the lakes during the summer, without hindering winter water outflows.
Sadly the county was not too willing to work with us and tried to blame some high water on us vs the real problem being beaver dams downstream of the SHOA property causing some real issue for some homeowners. They ripped out our weir which did nothing to lower the winter water levels oh well.
If someone (this committee) could come up with a cheap and effective way hold more water back on SHOA property. It would help these lakes, which are really shallow and the extra depth would help them immensely during the low water periods via a cheap weir it would really benefit everyone and everything who lives on these bodies of water.
