here locally it is not unheard of to see all sorts of things to slow down dock shooters ....
one spot is rigged with automatic sprinklers that are motion sensitive and will flat out wet you down good .
another one has hog panels hung off it around the perimeter .
some have cables across the outside behind the boats as well .
and then some just have either a big mean ole fella and or a big bad boy dog that will make ya want to move on ....
heck one time the darn whatever big as a small pony dog jumped in the boat with us !
bought wet myself that trip , thank goodness he was all show and was friendly once he came aboard ...
his approach said otherwise and he looked like he was gunna eat someone ...
some kind of mastiff mix ....
