Duncan is right they can get flat out hostile around here when ya fish thier docks.
I understand one of my buddies fished the "shower Dock" with a rainsuit on. On that lake, if a home owner hassles you for fishing his dock, you can call DNR or Water Patrol and they will ticket the home owner. I like that.
As long as you don't actually step onto their dock, you can do whatever you want.

The 1st structures I sank I had a parade following me! They acted like they were fishing and would sneak closer and closer. LOL Now I just sink them in the morning.
A sprinkler huh? I have had people tell me to put their fish back which I caught under their docks but never saw a sprinkler. LOL

Make sure you have your froggs toggs in the boat. lol
What part of the lake has the sprinkler system on a dock?
Sounds like some of these people are like the imports in our area that buy 10 or 20 acres, mark them "No Trespassing"," then try to hunt hundreds of acres all around them!

I have been there too. I had 200 acres that was in the middle of "No Where" Texas, Leon county. All of the property around mine was subdivided into 5 / 50 acre plots during about 4 years. There ended up being at least 20 stands on the fence lines around my property. Some of them about 100 yards apart.:p I guess you do what you can afford.Originally Posted by mgoodin
Back to fishing....I was doodeling around docks one day when a very polite gentelman started shooting a snake charmer. I asked him if he saw any snakes. He said "No, but, it keeps undesirables away". I took it to mean me too.

I usually try to put mine in at night or at dawn.
Last year my partner and I hauled a big load out one day before daylight and launched the boat in a corps of engineers lake near Dallas. I was sitting in the boat on the ramp while my partner parked the truck. In drives a white pickup that drives right down the ramp head first right to the waters edge and stops with me right in the headlights like a deer on the road. Opens the door and all I can see is writing on the door, Yep, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. My boat looked like a bomb had gone off in a bucket factory it was so full of condos. The driver got out of the truck, I'm blinded by the lights, sets up something on a tripod, looks like a camera, and I know I'm dead meat. He messes around for awhile, picks up his equipment and loads up and drives off, stopping to talk to my partner who was not about to come down to the boat, and leaves. My partner then informs me that he was using a gps reciever to locate the ramp for some project and was laughing his a** off about how I looked. So now I'm extra careful and I park the truck.
Good fishing.
I put mine out in the fall and during the summer at night.
Use pvc, it's worth the effort for me, and if people find them, what the hey. As long as I can find them and the fish use them it's all right. In our marina cove the sail boaters think they own everything, they yell at fisherman for too much wake, hacks me off.
