I've never seen so many people get so pissed when you parked in a spot that they were saving for someone that wasn't even there. I saw this happen at Moabi and at King Views Condo. I saw people with easy ups and they think that saves the spot. Like the PD told people do you think this happens in a parking lot at Starbucks. He said 1st come 1st serve. You leave, it's an open spot. I try and park where there isn't kids playing or an easy up but sometimes it's not possible. So bottom line is deal with it and understand it the lake is busy now.....

I pulled into a couple of spots one time where guys had 3 canopies in a row at Kingsview. I got into a big argument. Im not one to fight but sometimes you just have to stand your ground!

They have that problem at the Nautical too. Guys will have their ez ups and chairs right over thier spike like no one else will be able to beach there, they think they own the spot for the whole weekend. I've seen some pretty pissed off people come back to the Nautical only to find there's a boat park in "their" spot..

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
You take the spot because someone doesn't have the right to save it, and you have to deal with a confrontation. :mad:

That's what I hate about the nautical. Why is the entire beach saved by the time I get there? I've never been able to get a good spot in the cove in the eight years I've been staying there. They should put more docks in, with all the money they're making I'm sure they can afford to.:rolleyes:

You got that right... I'm not sure but nobody has a DEED to the spot
In Arrowhead we own our docks and do have a right to tell people to get the hell out. Doesn't apply to Havasu as far as I know. :D

I always get a spot. Maybe they know your coming. :D
A few weeks back we were looking for a beach in the morning north of the gorge area. Come to find a lot of the beaches were occupied by empty old beach chairs. Is this the new reservation system or something? :rolleyes:

Hey early bird gets the worm, or in this case the spot. Try some blow up dolls with weights tied to there ankles to keep them underwater and baseball caps on with bikinis and it will look like people swimin in your spot and... end of problem:D

Yep almost another near brawl at Kingsview with a couple people one with a boat and another one that didn't own a boat but had 2 ezups so his kids could play in water. As the cop told him nothing saves the spot other than a parked boat. He almost got cuffed...... Cop told him they have a couple swim beachs where boats can't park so that's where he should go. Like the island side near park around past light house.
Like Phebus said damned either way. But it's getting old when you look for a beach and there is a ezup and chairs and you park down the beach and nobody shows up to use the ezup or seats.

Years ago the wife and I pull our houseboat up to a beach at Middle Point Is. At Lake Mead on a Thursday before Memorial Day Weekend.
Someone had strung out Caution tape up and down the beach.
I called Parks and Recs. and asked if someone had died and they said no, it was unauthorized.
So we beached the boat and set up camp. The next morning the Terrible Herbest boys and there entourage landed there big boats and came running up to my wife and I while we were having our morning coffee all pissed and shit. They asked about the caution tape. I pointed towards the trash bags up on the beach.
I opened a bottle of Jack and we became friends.
They send there Helicopter out early to put up the tape.
Is that what you call “ballers?”

I agree that the people should not be saving spots, however there are alot of idiots that will also mess up your boat for being angry you took their spot so I choose not to take the chances most times. There are also people on HB that are guilty of this. Ive been parked in front of Agave once and had a lady (hb affilatted) :idea: start running her mouth under her breath about us being parked there in front of my wife before I came back from the market. :mad: We were there about 15 minutes to get some more sunblock, and then left again to go boating. I couldnt believe that this lady said it and was a little ticked off, but I try to be as peacefull as possible. :D

This is one of my pet peeves. A few weeks ago we pulled into Park Moabi and there were 2 ez-ups side by side with seadoos in front, no big deal we pulled in about 10 - 15 yards down from the last ez-up and got out of the boat. Kid comes up to us from the ez-ups and tells us he has two boats that will be back soon and can we move??? We just gave him the whatever look without a response and didn't move. :D

It would be really easy for the Nautical to post a sign that states "no saving spots" and tell guests that all personal belongings along the beach left unattended will be removed".

No . I'd actually call it litering. Lame.

The best thing was a couple of years ago when Shadow went to pull in a spot in the channel, and a couple of people in beach chairs told him the spot was saved. He said "bullshit, you can't save spots". They said they weren't moving, so he just pulled up and ran right over the chairs they scrambled out of. Classic, and he is now good friends with them.

this happens at saguaro lake all the time. everytime i've just took the spot that was "saved" and never had any drama, reason being that they are all punk kids that talk big but can't back it up (not that i'm a billy badass). what really chapps my ass is the jet ski people at pleasant that think they can take up all the spots on shore where you launch. truck and trailer in 1 spot and the ski's taking up another right next to it. one time i threaded the needle between a ski that was moored next to the trailer :D
