There have been owners in the past that have tried roping off areas between them selves and the next dock to keep others out. Lake Patrol made them remove and they were warned it was public water and anyone could fish it.
MUST BE FISHING THE NW CORNER IN PRAHLS. LOL. BEEN FISHING THERE 30 SOME YEARS 1ST TIME HAD SOMEONE TELL ME TO MOVE ALONG.
I tell you what that grumpy ole feller yelled at me for "overstaying my welcome" on his neighbors dock on Saturday! The dock owner (who wasn't fishing, and was talking to me) even stood up for me and said he didn't care. He continued to lecture me about how its disrespectful to fish those docks.
Have any of you checked the rules of the lake you are on ? Lake Springfield it is illegal to fish within 100 feet of a leased property unless you have permission from the lease. It may seem like it is pubic water but you have to know the lake rules
Try fishing Lake of Egypt with that attitude and you'll be spending the night in the pokey.Quote:
