Those two idiots need to be arrested.
They were. I would say they are lucky they weren't shot. they should have been. Had one of the two boys in the boat been my son the two men would have had to whip my ass. Every time I saw them. Wherever that happened to be. Until I got over it.

It would suck to buy a lake place, get you a nice boat and spend a bunch of time installing structure... only to have someone fishing all over it every time you look at it. Bouncing lead and lures of the coul of the motor or side of your pontoon. That being said not a much you can do except make it hard to fish from anywhere but on the dock. That and put a motion sensor on your dock light.

If someone is that hell-bent on stopping people from fishing their dock, a garage door with those screens that cover the gap down to the water line and boards between the posts at the water line is about the only way to stop it

2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft

It's sort of like building a house right beside the interstate and then yelling at the cars as they pass by. A boat dock is visible cover, and people are going to fish visible cover. If you add even more cover around it, that's just gonna concentrate more fishermen around your dock. Attracting fish to a particular spot on public water and then getting angry because people fish for them is just irrational. Build a private lake if you want privacy; can't get it on public water.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

Excellent post!

Very true. I’m not saying its reasonable to expect folks to leave your dock alone. It would just suck to have someone bumping up on your dock everytime you look at it. Nothing you can do about it though other than be that guy.
And y’all know there are some that would pull up on a dock and fish it while the dock owner is fishing it, just because “they can”.

Good. Now if they'd make all those folks on smith remove all the cables they've got running to anchors on the bank, well that'd just be great. Bout gotten to the point you can't beat the bank anymore. Seems they're blocking public waterways. Just saying...

Good. Maybe that will adjust his behavior a little. I live in Wilcox county and let me tell you, if he threatens the right locals like that with a gun over some such nonsense then he had better be damn well prepared to use it. It's sort of like building a house right beside the interstate and then yelling at the cars as they pass by. Exactly. Well put. Doesn't anyone explain this to these people who buy a house on a public lake? Because if your temperament won't allow you to tolerate someone flipping a lure at your pier or boat dock then maybe the lake front life isn't for you. Buy a cabin in the mountains instead.
The best index to a person’s character is (a) how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can’t fight back.

Also reminiscent of public land road hunters. I see a guy sometimes at a spot on public. He sits in the well of his open van side doors, and gives you a lot of hand signals and body
language that suggest that you are doing something wrong if you pass by.
