The Marine Police are a joke here on the lake.  Try calling when you need them.  recording says no one is in the office to take your call. there is absolutely NO WAY to contact them on sat. or sunday.  very rarely see them in sandy creek area.  yes l know there will be some folks who swear they do a great job, however l see wave runners riding at night, driving crazy towards boats, disregarding or should l say disrespecting other boaters and property owners and endangering other peoples lives. where is all the money for boat registrations?  seems like a half million bucks in boat registrations should provide some kind of enforcement, thats on top of what their budget is now and does not include any fines issued. l can ride all of sany creek, manoy creek, peckerwood and bay pines several times in one afternoon. l mean every  inch of it. so l dont buy into the BS crap about not enough manpower. it has been this way for the 37 years of living here in sandy creek.  l have seen lots of changes on this lake spending 1/2 my life here but not any changes in the marine patrol.  although l have seen a huge change in the amount of complaints coming in and the same old excuse from the marine patrol too.... not enough  money to fund the unit! with all the money brought in from lake martin to the state gov and the millions brought in to local economy, the state would want to keep this lake open for business and not be over run by a bunch of disrepectful, beer drinking, littering, rednecks who dont give a hoot about anyone but themselves. yes it is coming...accidents and people dead from this kind of nonesense and dont even say get your boating license. another joke and not enough room to write about.  law enforcement on this lake is nonexistent so to each his own, protect and arm yourself because you truely are on your own!
