I am trying to find out whom I need to report an incident involving myself and a staff member. The female staff member was very rude to me without cause. I am unsure if she was having a bad day but she approached me with contempt and enough intimidation that my daughter actually believed that I was in danger. Later learned that she had asked my daughter whose vehicle it was and when my daughter responded the woman sped towards me in the golf cart. She told me that I had not purchased entry into the park...which I had done and had the slip in my dash per the instructions on the payment envelope. She was looking for something on my mirror and it took several minutes for her to realize that I purchased mine from a box that was at the other entrance. Not even an apology before again coming at me about fishing. I drove over an hour because this park offered a handicap fishing peir according to the website.
When I arrived the pier was pretty crowded but the map near the permit box showed other fishing spots in the park so I decided to stay. I was surprised to see that the price on the board was higher than what the website stated but I was already there so I filled out the envelope and paid the $10. It took almost 45 minutes but my daughter and I found a spot that, with her assistance. I was able to get to. It was while she went back to my vehicle to get our gear that this woman approached her and then came at me. After no apology for ticket issue She said that there was no fishing allowed. It was about 1:30 in the afternoon and I had driven all over the park. There were a lot of people fishing and no signs stating what she was saying. When I asked about that she said she was on her way to deal with them and that forestry was on their way to put up signs. I asked her about my paying $10 to fish but before I could even ask if I could get a pass to come back another day she shouted at me and told me she didn't know what to tell me other than I was not going to fish in her park. I showed no disrespect for the lady. I never raised my voice nor did I argue. I was on a small wooden dock with my back to the water with this woman actually making me feel fear. I really want to see that this never happens to anyone again and intend to follow up on this matter.
