Not sure exactly how bad the dude was being, but I would have definitely called a game warden to teach him how the law actually works, especially with all of the threats you mentioned. Totally Agree!

I haven't fished that lake in a few years, but I got into a similar altercation with that same dock owner. I was actually vertically fishing for crappie, and not even casting, 20-30 feet from the dock. Some people think they own the lake since they have a dock, and that family is one of them. Those people are complete A** holes, and don't know the laws. I tried to explain that they don't own the water, let alone the structure I was fishing. A couple of my friends had similar experiences with them as well.
On a side note, that "Swim Area" is something new that was put in. I'm curious if that is even legal. I know they put that in themselves, and doubt they got any type of permission before installing it. Otho get a sharp knife won’t renedy

I bet their bluff is called after this post. I once had a dock owner try to run me off after their dock was 3 feet out of the water. As if they owned the land once the water fell.... they had a fence that stopped at their acreage. My response is was that is why their fence stopped there. When approached by a dock owner I try to be as polite as possible but and courteous to their boats or property. If people are fishing or swimming around them I will go way out of my way to avoid them. But if a disgruntled land owner is just watching to see if I get within a few feet of their dock they are looking for trouble... most of the time they find trouble

I sent the photos to a couple of old redneck boys who live on the lake who are eager to come to the get-together and accept his meeting on the bank. It sure would be funny to watch. I bet LCRA gets to him before long though. One of those poles into one of those high dollar Cobalts and it will be a phone call.

If I'm looking at it correctly, it's even visible on google maps satellite view.

Here is a shot from google earth with GPS coordinates. You can see the buoy line they have out and those are steel pipes anchored

Tell them to google Texas Sportsman’s Rights. It’s the top return and has all the info they need. They can even use the same smart phone they are threatening to call the cops with
Thanks for the info on Texas Sportsman's Rights, but I'm not so sure about calling the cops. Last year on Lake Travis, I was fishing a dock for crappie. A guy came down, some kind of caretaker I think, and told me to get away from the dock or he would call the sheriff. I suggested he do so, thinking that the sheriff would support my right to fish in public waters. I waited for the sheriff's boat (about 30 minutes), but when the boat arrived with two deputies, I was threatened with a ticket for trespassing. When I tried (politely) to explain that I had the right to fish in public waters, the lead deputy reluctantly agreed, but said if my boat as much as accidentally touched a dock, I would be trespassing. I was intimidated by the two uniformed, armed deputies even though I knew I was right. I could now kick my butt for not thinking to video the encounter. I haven't been back to that dock so I guess the land owner's strategy worked.
