Re: "People may no longer be able to drive on 'Geezer Beach'" in Dec. 5 Star

Yet another takeaway?
As a disabled fisherman, I, along with many other disabled, aged friends, have fished Geezer Beach for many years. We fish this area exclusively four to five times per week from January to June.
Due to our disabilities and very limited walking capabilities for many of us, it is the only alternative for fishing the area.
In all of my years of enjoying fishing Geezer Beach, I have never seen or experienced any of the suggested scenarios. I am proud to say that due to our appreciation of the ability to fish there, we are exemplary in keeping the area litter-free, as opposed to other recreational areas. We self police!
This is one of the few spots for disabled people to be able to drive to for accessible fishing. During drawdown it is impossible for me, as well as for many, to walk to the lake. So please reconsider and don’t deny us geezers the joy of fishing Geezer.
