It recently came to light that it is against City Ordinances to fish along almost all of Bayshore Boulevard. We are talking about resident fishing - not large commercial boats or anything like that. Violating the ordinance could result in a fine.
Reasons for the ordinance have centered on the issue of safety. Making sure that bicyclists, runners, roller bladers, and others are not hit by rods and reels, or fishing poles, or hooks, etc. BUT who are we kidding ?
While most of the types of residents attracted are merely there for the recreation, there are some that fish just because they want to catch dinner. Maybe they are poor or maybe they are just trying to save a few dollars.
With this City Ordinance in effect along this beautiful stretch of million dollar homes and condos you also have to wonder if it isn't just a case of "those that have" trying to make sure that they don't have to be subjected to observe "those that have not."
Tampa is made up of people of many diverse ethnicities and backgrounds. And to the knowledge of TAMPAGOLD.COM, they have just as much right to enjoy Bayshore as anyone else.
Let's get rid of this ordinance. Recent prostesters of the fishing ordinance carried signs that read very simply "WE CAN SHARE". Seems that says it all. What do you think ?

We would really like to know what you think about this issue. Please take a moment and let us know.
Face it, even recreational fishermen are not--shall we say "sartorially refined". Ugly people. There are those who will constantly browbeat the rest of use to help "whatever", yet it is all a NIMBY issue.
If these people showed their true colors, all ugly people would go to reservations, and Tampa would be a "beautiful" city.

Hi
Enjoyed the blog - nice to see someone else has activated their anonymous feature ;-)
I'm interested in investing in the real estate market in the US and am looking for some really cheap repossession properties in Beverley Hills, Santa Barbara, Denver, Colorado, San Francisco, Fort Lauderdale, Iowa, Hawaii, British Columbia, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New England, Minnesota, Miami, Florida, California, New York, Washington, Dallas, Texas, Chicago and Los Angeles. I've found a couple of really good sites - Bargain network which has some really cheap homes and Texas Ranches for sale - ranches in Texas plus both sites have beachfront villas and cars that have been repossessed and are really cheap!! Just wondering if there are any more sites like this.
Thanks for this.
John
