Brian K. Shaffer Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Can someone just put up a sign that says No Fishing around my dock within 50 feet ? Or is it a Corp deal ? Or is an ehtical deal ? There has been talk lately of this on Thursdays on the Jock 98.7 at 4pm.. the fishing around docks thing. Fishing radio show.. I think it can be heard at the address below.. but I just listen in the car. Radio Springfield Brian Just once I wish a trout would wink at me! ozarkflyfisher@gmail.com I'm the guy wearing the same Simms longbilled hat for 10 years now.

mizzouflyfisher Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Nobody can tell you not to fish near a dock. They can post as many signs as they want, doesn't mean squat. Just be sure you don't cast onto the dock or bump it with your boat going around the corner. You have the right to contact any portion of the water under, behind or beside a dock. Shoot, if the cables to the dock are high enough to go under or under water far enough to go over, you can go past the cables. I usually try not to do that. Somebody with some guts and a cell phone needs to go anchor right next to the dock for a bit and get this taken care of. A quick call to the police and a report could go a long way toward cooling this guys temper. Disclaimer: Don't do anything stupid!!! A piece of water, no matter how good is not worth a dangerous confrontation. Maybe somebody should print off all of these posts and mail them to the guy. Might shed some light on how he is perceived.

griffin Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 If the fishing is not good and you get bored ya'll should be able to have some fun with that guy. griffin
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 28, 2006 Root Admin Posted February 28, 2006 Grif- I would not like to see the aftermath of you all's meeting... your big jon against his little jon. It would not be pretty. Hey- July's getting closer everyday!
crappiefisherman Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I bought some minnows off that guy at k dock one time and i think i got rooked.The darn things where lazy and must have been bad tasters.I couldnt catch anything on them. [ [
CaptainT16 Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 How about setting up a meeting place with fellow anglers with boats and all happen to go fishing around his dock at the same time. Everyone get their phones ready to call the police. Probably not a good idea, but would like to see the guys face when 30 boats come rolling up and fishing around his dock!

crappiefisherman Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 If you know the guys a jerk. Ignore him, dont patronize his place, surely there are other places to fish besides around his dock.I dont like being hasseled anymore then the next guy, but if you all take business elseware and boycott the place he will be gone soon enough.OH and by the way 30 boats with cell phones? The only thing worse then a jerk boat dock owner is a phone ringing at the lake.Thats my opinion and others may vary. If you know the guys a jerk.

Nothing worse then being on the lake and having your cell phone ring. I do agree that everyone meeting at the dock wouldn't be a good idea, but it sure would be funny to see the look on his face. I don't fish the lake, but I know if I did always seem to catch fish there I am not sure that I would give up my spot to some angry guy.
