Should just close it all down. And start fining the City of Jackson for every minor environmental infraction. The spillway fishermen and Jackson are screwing over everyone down stream, and the Gulf of Mexico, more than anyone not familiar would ever believe.

Racism pure and simple. First they allowed lease holder to “Privilatize” their docks and boat launches to prevent access to the poor. They have allowed lease holders to all but completely ban fishing from every accessible shore on the Rez. And now this.
This is a vital source of free food for the poor communities of Jackson. You are basically seeing the rich whites of the PRVWSD disenfranchise African-Americans who have every right free and unrestricted access to this public resource and food source.

It’s a repeat of the “good” old days of Lake Hico in 2021.

Reservoir Police really going to enforce this? Don't see them dedicating a lot of time doing so.

Good luck to Sigman figuring out which jacktown permittee left the empty 40 cans on his rocks.

Those perforated cards will be scattered all over the rocks

Why can't poor people throw their trash in a receptacle? Ride around Jackson and you will see what I mean.

@11:21 AM - you are the racist for stereotyping blacks as poor. That is the definition of racism.

@11:21

So you mean to tell me a man fishing with a 100 dollar pole who drove a 3,500 dollar (on the cheap), car to get there, fishing with 10 dollars worth of chicken livers (daily)........to catch 15 dollars worth (on a good day) of catfish......

is somehow capitalizing on a MAJOR SOURCE of food for poor and disenfranchised people?

god don't you live in a dream world

P.S. EBT cards also help to deflate your misguided position

I'm not sure how signing a piece of paper and then placing a piece of paper in your windshield prevents Jackson residents from feeding their family...but gosh, you may be right.

I guess paper is racist now.

If only the climate alarmist’s could train their disenfranchised voters to pick up their trash, there wouldn’t be a need for this. This would also reduce all the garbage on the roads around Jackson.

11:21, Leaseholders (Rez homeowners) pay ALL the taxes for little Travarious to fish for free (permit is free) at a state lake. How about we charge the non Residents equal taxes. Is that "equity"? "Inclusion"?

Again, the residents pay ALL Rez taxes for every person, black, white, citizen, or illegal alien to fish, have picnics, boat, and walk or ride at a nice lake. That's the Rez's only revenue source.

THAT's "inequity."

I hear the fish below the Jackson water treatment facility at waterworks are extra tasty.

To 11:21.....all the man said was "ride around Jackson and you will see what I mean" (about trash). IF THE SHOE FITS, WEAR IT!!!!!

Anonymous said...

I'm also not sure how signing a piece of paper and then placing a piece of paper in your windshield prevents Jackson residents from trashing the rocks below the spillway and giving a feeling of accountability but here we are.

Also, 11:21, per the press release, it's a FREE daily registration permit(paragraph 4). Key word FREE. But don't let your little "everyone is racist" rant get in the way of facts. You're basically signing in and out.

@1:29 PM Reading Comprehension Failure said...

@1:29 PM - The permit is FREE, moron.

Anonymous said...

11:21 & 12:31 knows not what they speak of. I'd venture to say if you took a survey over the course of the year, there are equally as many white people as black people that fish below the spillway on an annual basis, if not more. Look January, February, March & April when the crappie are stacked in there thick. Trying to paint this as a racial issue makes you look stupid.

"There will be no fee associated with the permit cards at the Spillway."

anonamouse said...

11:21 & 12:31 are racists and probably a member of the racist BLM gang.

The Jacktown area looks horrible with the amount of trash on the interstates & roads. Some is from uncaring folks tossing the trash out the window, some comes from a garbage truck, and some comes from the bed of a pick-up truck.

Come on man.....please don't litter!

Anonymous said...

Bunch of assholes on here picking on poor people fishing with cane poles. Go walk the spill way on the rez side and you'll see all the litter you want, not to mention up river. This is akin to spot zoning, let's just pick on the people on the other side of the line.

Anonymous said...

So, the folks in boats don't need a permit. Just the people sitting on a five gallon bucket. How's a free permit going to stop littering?

Anonymous said...

@1:29
Re-read that article - there is NO CHARGE for use of the fishing area - you just have to register to be there, whether you're fishing, parking, whatever.

Anonymous said...

How much does the permit cost, 1:29pm?
The article I read states its free.
Which one did you read?

Anonymous said...

As someone who left NEJxn 20 years ago and enjoys life on the Rez now, the irony that Jackson residents are calling us racist because we wont allow them to throw garbage on the ground is just too funny.

Democrats refuse to clean up Jackson, so you think the next best option is abuse another resource and cry over a sign up sheet?

I don't agree with many of John Sigman and crew's ideas, but the race card is just preposterously hilarious these days.

Thanks for the chuckle KF!

Folks you do realize that people like 11:21 are not really 11:21. They put stuff like that on here to see what fire they can light and what they can get people to yell. Ugh.

We live in a world where assuming 11:21 is serious is no reach at all.

We passed a constitutional amendment that says hunting and fishing is a right in Mississippi. Didn’t say nothing about no permit from the Rankin and Madison folks who want to run the Rez.

Anonymous said...

Seems like spot zoning. The other parks should require a permit also. They are full of trash. Even the overlook.

When a policy has an adverse impact on a section of people it’s usually suspect.

Landlords who all of a sudden use credit scores to determine who gets an apartment? Suspect.

Banks who won’t lend to people who live in certain areas? Suspect.
- on this look up BankCorp South Memphis $17,000,000 fine a few years ago.

There are legitimate reasons to keep the Rez free of garbage but is there another way of doing it?

Why not just impose a fee sufficient to pay a crew to clean it up along with fining people who litter? Use a drone?

This should not be hard.

they need to drain the pond and spend a season digging and dredging because the pool is getting quite full of river silt and very shallow.

You idiots are aware that this isn’t public property right? It’s owned by the Pearl river valley water supply district. It’s not public. Your right to fish is irrelevant on property that is not public. I hope they shut it down.

I can assure you that not a single person of color was given a voice in the matter of the formation of the PRVWSD and the naming of the reservoir after the infamous white supremacist governor Ross Barnett.

Hope it helps or we will see manned booth's and actual police walking the rocks. If that fails, shut down of the two sites.

Maybe, maybe not. Either way, it’s still not public.

Anonymous said...

The Rez could have been nice, a benefit for the area to enjoy. But this is Mississippi and politicians and connected person's always ask what is in it for me. Drive by daily never fished or really looked around. Trash by those fishing, the issue of the decade is a excuse. A elevated bypass is needed to on the spillway, but we do not fund anything always cry for a Federal Grant.

Anonymous said...

It’s currently not public land. Just keep electing democrat marxist and everything will be public land expect land owned by the 1%er’s. The racism card is a magicians distraction to keep people from looking at the property grab by foreigners and 1%er’s.

As far as the trash is concerned, trash never picks up trash and trash comes in all shapes, sizes and COLORS.

Anonymous said...

Awww! Come on guys! There is no fee for the permits today. What about next week? Somebody has to pay for the paper and ink and the cost of printing them. What could possibly go wrong there. The permit stations will also cost money to build and maintain and someone will have to get a paycheck for stocking the stations when they run low and picking up all of those little slips of paper that will end up on the ground.. like I said, “ What could possibly go wrong?”

Anonymous said...

this permit deal is a classic example of what happens when people cannot master the use of a garbage can for all their litter.
we got millions of those types in this state
the world is their stinking ashtray
every smoker out there will tell you that cigarette butts are not litter
you dont believe me?......go ask one

"every smoker out there will tell you that cigarette butts are not litter you dont believe me?......go ask one". Not only are they litter but they are a potential source of brush, grass and forest fires. Just ask Smokey.

Only difference between the Pearl south of the Jackson metro and third world ditches filled with raw sewage and trash is size and volume.

Anonymous said...

Then there are the inconsiderate morons who place their trash in their pickup bed. The trash will always blow out of the bed onto the roadway.

Cigarette butt throwers - also inconsider MFers.

Yes, the used permits will litter the area. Anyone at PR who thinks that requiring a permit will reduce littering is a moron.

The fishermen will use a phoney name/address on the permit or will otherwise be unreadable. Is it a crime?

The Machiavellian Napoleon Strikes Again.. said...

Sigman does NOT 'hate that it's come to this' at all. He loves it! It's his fashion. Anybody who has watched the man and his antics over the years knows that!

In the midst of minimal problems (some even perceived) he always comes up with outlandish solutions, often for the problems that don't even exist. Think about it: His solution for upriver sandbar gatherings. His solution for activities near and around Ratliff Ferry. His solution requiring a bucket labeled 'trash' in every boat. His solution to require annual paid 'stickers to launch' on every boat. His decision to open and close ramps. His decision to punish fishermen by not maintaining landings, thus justifying their closure. Need I go on?

Take a Sunday drive around the entire perimeter of the Reservoir. Count the fences that have fallen down around entire back yards. Look at all the stacked up debris, dead trees that have been felled for years, cans, grills, trampolines fallen into failure, junk cars/trucks/boats. This is reservoir property, state property. Disgraceful. This is Sigman's legacy.

General Sigman can perch himself with his binoculars up in the observation tower above the spillway all day long and you will never keep slobs from being slobs. And Sigman will always be Sigman. He attempts to bully municipalities. He attempts to bully outdoorsmen of all types. He bullies agency employees. On occasion he bullies the counties that border the reservoir. He bullies department heads.

And for the clown claiming this is NOT public property, the agency is a division of state government and the property is owned by the state and operated by the PRVWSD, a state agency. But that's neither here nor there when it comes to control, rules and enforcement.

Lake Hico was a stem generation plant owned by Mississippi Power and Light Company, later ENTERGY. It often fell victim to poachers.

What's up with claiming racism? Nowadays at the gas stations I see as many black gents towing 80 thousand dollar rigs as I do white gents. And with bigger trucks.

Yee Haw And aA Three Dollar Box Of Worms said...

I don't whether it's the PRVWSD or the Interior Department Ranger crew, but some agency ought to stop all the damned 4WD-Mud-Rutters from digging two-foot deep mud trenches all along the Rez side of the Parkway. Travelers from 50 states and various countries assume they're in Mississippi - And they're right!

It's all about control. As with Robert Reich, look how royally he fucked up the Federal Department of Labor when Clinton slid him in as Czar.

Is actually right
One particular n'hood group of leaseholders leaseholders privatizing their launches and park areas rationalized by complaining of discarded chicken bones and fishermen hollering cat calls at folks walking of examples like "hey halle berry"
Not making this up

"Racism pure and simple. First they allowed lease holder to “Privilatize” their docks and boat launches to prevent access to the poor."

Lemme see if I got this right - I work two jobs and build a 45 thousand dollar dock and deck on my leased property at the Rez. I have a legal right to do that. Over time I also save up enough to install kayak launch rails (it's not legal for a leaseholder to install a boat launch on state property).

Instead of putting up a sign that sez: "This here deck is privilatized", I should put one up saying: "Feel free to fish from my dock at your leisure, toss your shit in the water and around the back yard, rut up my drive and leave your fish guts in my garbage can. What's mine is yours. No problem. Enjoy."

One question: Since when is banning poachers racist?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
