On the news last night, it showed CC police signs of "No Trespassing" posted along the southwest bank of Packery Channel by the bridge. It said trespassers will be prosecuted, and police patrols, some in unmarked cars, will be patrolling the area to make arrests. A different TV channel said that surveillance cameras were/will be put in there.

A similar thing may soon happen on the Packery Channel area west of the Packery Park. The area between the Best Western Hotel and the JFK bridge and behind the best Western, and between the Best Western and the Packery Park. All that area is also private land [something I hadn't known until recently].

Just a heads up for bank fishermen.....

Thanks to all the idiots who litter and treat the area like a garbage dump.

I have fished there one time nice area to fish if you don't have a boat. I feel for those that fished it on a regular basis. Now those same idiots are going some where else to thrash another fishing spot, it never ends. Sorry for you all's lost.

The area she is talking about is private. The owners have the same issues, trash and the one all land owners face and fear the most, liability. That idiot that didn't have a trash can has Wayne Wrights number on speed dial. It won't take 6 months to post it.

How does the song go, send lawyers, guns and money.....

As far as I can tell, the north side of the channel is still open.

Also, there is a sign at the Packary Channel Park parking lot saying that the park will be closed from dusk till dawn. Not sure how they intend to close the park. There are two ways in, one at PCP entrance , and one through the neighborhood. I don't think hey can lock anyone out,

Wonder how often the CCPD will patrol the park?

Wilson cut will be next if idiots keep throwing trash. I pick up trash. Feels great.

I personally never fished the area closed from the bank, but kayak fish that area often. Cannot blame the land owner on this one.

I guess the litter will just keep moving to new locations that become available when others get closed down.

I thought the area at Wilson's cut by the gate was already closed off? Hear the kite boarders blocked off the road and got the company/landowner upset. I haven't kayaked or fished that spot in almost a year.

I am so p****d! I've caught some fish there including my only snook! I've met some great people and made some surprising friends there. I wish the City had the foresight to make that whole area a Park, a treasure for the people of Corpus and their visitors who bring so much revenue to the area each year.

Yes, I'm a visitor there, but I've always taken out my trash and picked up after so many others. This is sickening!
