Thread: How far is to Far ?

Fishing “slobs” have ruined more places than we can ever imagine. Some years back a nice stretch of stocked trout water was taken away because the owner couldn’t put up with bank damage anymore. It took years before the state could get another chance.

Totally factual sir , many places get trashed by the public , lost a spot back in the late 70 early 80 area over monster trucks ravaging the landscape , put up heavy pipe fences to stop us from hitting one of the best spots ever !
Got so bad back in there that my little 2 wheel drive truck struggled to get by all the ruts and bogs they created !

Doesn't spund like the sprinkler would be legal. Guess it comes down to who owns the water /land that the dock is sitting on

A guy on one of our lakes put one on his dock that would spray you when you pull up to it. It didn’t last long the guy with the badge had a short conversation with him

Ketchen I have a big dock, with a gazebo on it , two slips on either side. Have two black gentleman come there often they tie to the slip polls and cast up under it. To me thats being very respectful and walk out and talk to them now and then tickled they are enjoying their day . Don't tell everyone but when a dock grills rush, they go in the water and right dead in the middle of my gazebo under the dock. There three under there now. If someone throws a lure up on the dock don't have a issue with you trolling over using your rod tip to get it off. My docks to high to reach over. Built it high for the hurricanes and its cement. .
I don't own the water but I do own the dock. Dock is privet property. No one needs to be on the dock. Once you climb my ladder the game changes. What I do not like is people motoring over to the ladders tie to my main dock getting up on my dock under that gazebo walking around if they throw a lure in the middle . To far to what I call rod reach it. I've lost rods out there hung them in the top part so someone had to get up on the dock to get them, had a cooler out there that got gone, and the gazebo is enclosed. Wind is not going to blow that out and if it were a tornado it would of tore the top off. LOL If you want to know if all men are created equal no they are not. Most respect others stuff but some I think would steal something just because its there.
I have ADT at the house 10 camera's and fixed my issue. Traveled all my life with work. Worked out of Chicago. Put a wireless camera out there. Over water is works just fine. Its one of the 10. Added a sign on the end, of the dock ADT under security. Everyone can see it from a boat. Have not had any more issues but in the case of your post and a funny way of looking at it if your home and have to pee do you walk to the bathroom or pee on the floor. LOL That is our home your fishing by.
I would not get bent out of shape if I saw someone peeing by my dock I'd laugh at you. Its big enough to motor to the end take a few seconds and about hide a bass boat where no one could see that person doing his deal, but there are always those few that didn't have much raising, like your spot someone screw it now no one can enjoy it.
Do I think he want to far. Your dock owner?. We will never know what he's married to or what he won't get till he makes mama happy. All women are not created equal either. Some of them just down right mean. LOL

All we ask of those that enjoy fishing respect what's not yours. Thats not to much to ask. I always yell out there to anyone thats fishing if I'm outside. . " If its over 10 pounds you have to bring it to me" Puts a smile on their face to start with and we laugh at wave .

A bottle and a couple of open deck lids will conceal the evacuation of ones fluids. Unless you knew what I was doing you would think I am fussing around with tackle.

Above mentioned careless individuals have ruined many things across this country unfortunately! Hunting, fishing, you name it.

I shoot docks almost exclusively. Therefore I am around plenty of them. I learned by accident that wearing a button up shirt instead of a ragged T-shirt seems to put folks at ease. I can not prove that of course. Seems the only times I have had unpleasant experiences with dock owners is when I was in a ragged t-shirt and ild stained jeans. In the middle of the summer I will be dressed in cheap kayak pants and a button up shirt and possibly a clean neat ball cap. Most people will come out and strike up a conversation, if they have brush under the dock most will let you know. In the winter time you rarely see people around docks or marinas
