    Default Fisherman RIGHTS!!!!


    Soooooo...... We address the pier owner , boat owner and who owns the water situation again this week. As you all know I fish as often as work allows and frequent over fifty spots a week. Some pier owners are indifferent to me fishing there piers or waters surrounding it. I have one that was producing fish 100' away from a pier and was run off it before I even started fishing the other day. As upset as the homeowner was I eased off and call the Alabama wildlife and fisheries dept. they
    were real cooperative and are investigating the matter. He said I had all rights to fish the lake as long as I did not get on pier or hit it with bait.

    I urge anybody that has a problem to call your local authority instead of taking matters in your own hand. You have rights in handled the right way.

    It appears the home owner believes he/she also own the water and fish. He is wrong of course but I doubt I would have argued with him. I think you handled it well.

    The wife and I usually fish from bank as we don't have a boat. When we have rented a boat (usually KY Lake) we have assumed that the water was ours to use. We love our outdoors time and have always assumed that the lake is there for everyone. Many of us just love to fish and if we were told to leave their "private cove or dock" we would. It isn't right though to take ownership of a lake.
    We are getting up in years, just want to enjoy our time and not break any rules.

    Closer to 200' would be my estimate.

    You handled it the right way my friend. So many people act ignorant these days. It is not worth fighting or taking a bullet over it. Let the Game Warden or the sheriff handle it.
