I fish people's docks like this on purpose... Just for being pricks. They don't own the fish, get over it. If you put brush under your dock in this day and age, with side-scan electronics, etc, you may as well just expect it. Better yet, put ropes, chains, and boards all over the front of your slip to advertise to every crappie fisherman that drives by that you have brush under there. Too many guys know how to shoot docks now days. Only takes a 6" gap in the encapsulated to get plum up in the middle of the well.

PS - I've fished this same douche-bags dock mentioned in the original post. He's off his freaking rocker. Never even caught a fish around it. Maybe threw in there 4-5 times. He came out cussing me and flipping me the bird. BUT, I can guarantee you I'll fish that SOB every time I'm near it, and wear it the hell out if there are fish around it, just because he's an ass.

Rather than throw rocks the guy should hang a sign warning folks that his septic system is currently overflowing.

Where is it located?Originally Posted by NateD
I was fishing one recently that had a BIG sign that said smile your on live camera. I smiled real big everytime I pulled one out from under their pontoon lift.

Just off main lake near the Glaize.

My guess is that the sign was more to deter thieves and vandals than fishermen. S/He was probably fine with you harvesting fish from below their pontoon.
Maybe not, but...

That was my thoughts too. I looked everywhere and never saw a camera.

Plenty of docks on LOZ. If you run across someone like this, best to just motor on to the next one. I have seen a lot of people just get out on docks to retrieve their jig or dip for fish just over the lift arms. I'm sure that they see a lot of this. Doesn't give them the right to throw rocks but your no better when you get to arguing with them. Just sayin...

I just can't agree with those of you who say you should just move on. I get the respect thing, I never pull up on somebody fishing from the bank or off a dock. I've been the guy without a boat before. However, dock owners don't own the water under their dock anymore than you or I do - just my two cents. They can get butt hurt all they want because they put brush in, or whatever, but that's just the way it is. It's a public lake open for public fishing without restrictions except for around the dams. I wouldn't get upset if I sunk brush somewhere other than a dock and pulled up on somebody fishing it. Besides, how much shoreline at LOZ can you even fish that doesn't have docks on it? If every dock owner got irritated at people fishing around their docks and they left, the only place you could fish would be the Glaize and up the river in spots.
Now, if somebody gets off on the dock, that's a whole different story. That IS private property, and I can understand a dock owner having an issue with that.
