Hopedale marina

Man I hate to bash a guy trying to make a living but I've had it up to here with this place. I've been fishing out of hopedale for years. Since skipping out of class in highschool. Glenn was a dream as a marina owner. Great guy. Hell he would even come outside and BS and help clean fish when they were slow. This new guy Pat Turner makes this place a nightmare. The facility's are great but it's the service or lack there of. I'm not asking for much here. When I have to pay for a private boat launch all I want is a place where I can run in. Grab a few fishing corks or extra jig heads and maybe some shrimp or live bait. That used to be what you had at old Brenton sound marina since the new management has took over Pat has cursed me out when I was trying to pay him for a boat launch because he had a kayak tournament going on. Told me he's not wasteing his trying to catch live crokers in the bait tank because he's busy and they are to hard to catch. Cursed out his poor employee in front of women children and families. He's given me about 30 of his damn business cards. To top it off the marina doesn't open till 6am so don't try to get bait and be on the water before the sun is up. I'm sorry. End rant. I've just had enough of this place

I've had nothing but positive experiences with Pat. He's always been overly helpful with catch reports and I've never seen him act anything but super friendly to everyone there.

I've been several times since management change. I think it's improved greatly. The new fella has been super nice and personable. If anything, I disliked the old lady who used to try directing traffic. She was awful and often obnoxiously rude.
The opening at 6 am thing is bull shite. I was paid for and rolling down the spoil canal by 5:30 a few weeks ago.
Hell, he even had someone out there selling bait on Easter Day.

When we launched there last year the management guy cussed a kid tying up his poles sitting in the water at the base of the boat launch waiting on his buddy. Not sure if that was old or new management, but he was cussing them for good reason and we were finally able to put in without backing down on top of them.
Overall good experience for us, but I can see how that may embarrass or rub someone the wrong way if they're the one getting yelled at.

I was thinking about this. Are you sure you didn't mistake BSM for Serigne's in Delacroix? I could see those goof balls cursing a customer.

Ive never met a non-temperamental marina owner. Hell, its part of the experience. The lady at BSM (when Glenn was there) would always, in the winter,tell me I was showing up at the wong time to fish. "Fish dont start bitin til later." ?? I always wanted to say "woman, this is my day off during the week don't tell me what to do!" " I get that shite at home!" Sadly, I never got the chance.
