Same thing happen to me too last year br1

I haven't had it happen so far. I did exchange PM's with another person on here that had posted a video on here of someone doing it to him. I wanted to go with him and take along a second video camera, the number for the local game warden and let them give him a little talk and possibly a ticket for haressing people legally taking game. But I have to get a kayak first. I don't have a problem burning people like that.

Just tell him his pile was so small that you put yours on top of it so it is now your pile, but that he can fish it when you're finished!

I'd probably just start me big motor up and do circles until they left or I scared everything away

Now the one I was refering to the gentleman came out on his dock giving the guy fishing out of a kayak ol billy for fishing close to his dock. You could see that the fellow in the kayak never got out of his boat. He had put in down the lake at another location. I don't remember if it was this fellow or another but the land owner called the local cop who came out. The cop told the person fishing to come ashore. The person fishing told the cop come out here and had him call the game warden. When the game warden got there he put the cop and the landowner in there place. I loved it.

From the perspective of a dock owner and kids. I don't want some yahoo leaving a lure so my kid can get stuck by it. Respect the mans wishes and move on. Or pony up the money for medical bills. Your choice.

I don't think you've got to worry about anyone leaving lures hanging on your dock, lol.

On my local lake it is illegal to fish the docks or within 100 of the shore that is how far the properity line goes out

YES! Several of us with Crappie.com assisted COE rebuild brushpiles on a local lake and furnished trees , blocks and zip ties. I was fishing one last year and an old man informed me that was his spot and moved right in tossed out an anchor within a few feet of my boat. He said those corks tied to it were his markers. I told him it was a public lake and it was marked on the map as a fishing structure. We had helped rebuild it or he would not have a place to fish. Reminded him it was public and I could not stop him but I was there first and he had no right to run me off.
Once you place cover it is anyone there first on public. But when locals follow you and take them over we have been know to move one . But only those taken over by guys that refuse to help when asked.
I was fishing before and had folks motor over my marker bouy to see what I was fishing. Even had folks circle me or even try to troll over the marker I had out . I've seen folks toss a marker on a top I put out , then move off out of the wind then gripe because I fished close to it. You can't hide them from the electronics these days but when regulars fish your hard work and refuse to help it sure don't make you feel good about it.

While I personally would not want to see anyone get stuck by a fish hook regardless of how it got there. I just as anyone else would do all I could not to toss my bait on top of a dock of other private structure. Now unless like the one communist rule I saw posted on here if the law allows me to fish along the shore line the minute a land owner comes out and starts harressing me for fishing close to his dock I will reach over and get my cell phone and call the game warden. I have no problem following the law and if I have to I will use it against that person that wants to think he can bully me if I am within the law. I personally would try to remove a lure if I had hung up on the structure. But I believe with the mass production of lures a dock owner would play heck proving that any one lure belonged to any given fisherman. Thats just not going to happen.
