Default fighting over docks?

Let me give you my perspective as a lakefront, dock and boat owner about why this issue gets me upset. Perhaps you will understand why it is upsetting to have every fisherman trying to catch the big one under my dock. My dock is 40ft long and has a very expensive boat tied to it. Each year I remove at least a 5 gal. bucket of bobbers and hooks from my dock, boat and beach. I watch as my cover of my boat has been hooked and ripped. The line is cut and off they go knowing they have caused damage. My grandson was hospitalized because he stepped on a hook and it had to be surgically removed. I do not own the water, but I do own the dock and the boat and do not wish to have hooks thrown at them. I don't think it is too much to ask that hooks not be thrown at my property. In their quest to catch the "big one", there is no commmon sense. How about if I start throwing rocks into the water right where your beautiful bass boat is because no one owns the water and I would like you t

o stop throwing hooks at my property? No fish here. I find it hard to believe that lakefront owners do not want you to catch their fish. Sounds silly. They are just trying to protect their property and family from being damaged or hurt. Make sense?


I always make sure no one is around when I fish near docks.

It's better that way.
