By law, when they have a marina on a Corp lake, they lease 5 acres of water so that's what they have say so over. He said if you are in a boat and not physically tied up to the marina no one would probably say anything to you. If you are tied to a slip they will make you leave. There are a lot of people fishing there on weekends and are paying 800.00 a year for a boat slip so I would probably avoid the slips where they are fishing. The new owner is really putting some tight reins on the fishing there. If you don't pay for a slip he won't let you fish. I guess he has stopped the my buddy has a dock deal.
The pioneer marina used to have some submerged brush in there too. It was between the slips in open water. I was fishing it two years ago and some guy came running down there and told me to get he hell out. He was pretty angry about something. According to my locator, that brush is now gone, be it by flood waters washing it out, or being taken out. Looks like they are doing a little cleanup around the marina.
