This is how the ownership thing really goes. You dump it in the lake, you still own it. If there is something in it that is damages the lake you are responsible. If there is a person fishing over it, you still own it. However, you don't own the lake that it is in. If the lake is public you cannot tell the person fishing your cover to move. You can, dive down and move your crappie condo if you wish.
Just like if you put a boat in the water, it does not become public property. If a person is fishing around your boat you do not have the right to run them off but you can move your boat.
How's this for another theory?
