Of course profesionalism woud be most important. I ALWAYS respect others around me when boating. Even if I got there first and some one comes along to go fishing I will let them know what I am doing and worst case I move, pain in the ass but whatever. I see it as here you have a nice quiet sunny day and here comes rc boats rippin up the water. Thats also why I will run my SAW boat sometimes 3 times a week at 6:30 am when there is never anyone around to see or complain. Remember....in this world it only takes one cry baby to change everything.

guys, what happened to dooley's pond off 17 in durham or middletown? we used to run there almost 30 years ago (nitro) and got kicked out because of noise. electric is quiet . what happened?

there is also hanover pond in meriden same thing noise got us shut down

[Gary]

Thats what the big problem is. I love the sound of nitro and started with that myself but the noise is wicked and draws way to much attention. I have even told guys running gas boats that we will be thrown out because of them. Electric is noise free practically , no fumes or gas in the water. To me its the only way to go. I go places where noone even knows im there because there is no noise. I dont know about dooleys pond though. As soon as the permits go threw for Tobys pond in Beacon Falls i will let you guys know. Thats where I always run my SAW boat.

is toby's pond busy? if you get permits what would be good times to run (besides sun-up) driving an hour to run and there's a fisherman there is frustrating.

[Gary]

I here you but that lake is massive so there is always someplace to run. But Igo at 6:30 am mostly mon -friday and I have NEVER seen anyone there. Weekends ....different gota get there early.

ok i just spoke to Shawn from the city of bridgeport's park's department, and i was given an ok for Bunnels Pond at Beardsley Park. His only request was a very understandable one and it was a cordial request of sound judgement on our part, with respect to the area, littering, foul language, and just general public park courtesy.


So i'll most likely try to make it out there very early next wednesday, thursday, friday. I might try to go today at 4pm, but the park will more than likely be full, raining, or too windy.

I hear this loud and clear, i'd love for Beardsley park to become a nice hangout for a local rc boat club but i'd really hate for a premature end due to complaints on us.

hey would love to run up there w you guys, I'm in Rye Brook NY right next to Greenwich, anly about 20-25 minutes from bridgeport. Do you have a retrieve boat?

This is the rough size of Bunnells pond at Beardsley Park. No gas/nitro unfortunately. No actual full size boats allowed.
