any thing in public waters in alabama is public domain
When someone fishes a downed tree along the bank or a boat dock are they poachers?
It's a PUBLIC lake people. None of us have a right to claim any part of it as our own.

That is different because it is a structure that is either natural or is visible to the public .
I am fully aware that it is a public lake and stated that at the end of the day there is nothing that can be done about it. In my opinion if you know that a pile is someone else's especially someone that you know and you have not contributed to putting out the brush out of respect you move on. Everybody has an opinion and I knew I would be in the minority as not many people now days have respect for other fishermen. I have had people follow me, use binoculars, and stop yards away while I am fishing a pile, then go right to it as soon as I leave.

ihave put out two hundred structures a year for seven years ive had people ask me to leave there structure that i put out . i have them fish my light nightly it all boils down to it being public domain i try to have enough spots to be able to keep moving the sport has changed with electronics of today....... nothing is a secret
How does anyone know its your brush pile and not a natural brush pile when they find it with a depth finder ? I guess you need to leave a marker on it with your name on it.I tried that but someone kept taking my markers.

Its easy, just assume every brush pile is everyones.
We have come full circle to a discussion that has been decided by law.
