Lat night at 8pm I was fishing in my boat in De Cordova. I was anchored front and in the back of the boat next to the Car Bridge on the west bank. The land owner came down raising #### at me that I was on her property. My anchors were both clearly in the water next to the bank. We had a few words, she told me I needed to move my boat, I told her a was on BRA property and that I wasnt doing anything wrong. She left on a good note " I thought" the next thing I know her son inlaw pulled up and told me to leave, I said Sir im fishing and not doing anything wrong I am not on her property my anchors are clearly in the water. He said my anchors were touching the roots of the trees in the water and that was her property. I said no its not I just want to fish and be left alone. Then things got pretty bad. I told them to call the Game Warden or the Sherrif. Next thing I know 2 Sherrif cars come flying down the road with lights on and De Cordovas Security Guard which I had called. The Sherrif told me I was doing nothing wrong to keep fishing and not worry about it that I was not breaking any laws. After everyone left fishing just wasnt fun at that time anymore. But I stood my ground till everyone left then I called it a night. No fish!!!! Some say I should have moved but I felt like I needed to stay so they wouldnt do the same to my fellow fisherman!! Hopefully you all agree and I didnt make a #### of myself. Thoughts and Opinions welcomed. Hopefully no one else has a problem. Just want to warn you what you might get into in their!! Which I am moving into De Cordova on the first of the month. I dont have a problem with the place its a nice neighbor hood. But I guess you alway have a few like that.

well done and props for standing up for your rights and all other fisherman/ladies public water and that's that...

Agreed!!

Im with you on it....great job.

Couldn't agree with ya more, way to stand your ground. Hooky said it, what part of "PUBLIC WATERS" is not understood here.

Props for standing your ground!!!

You did the right thing

just give the one finger salute

You did the right thing. but you should have asked the guy how he knew your anchors were touching roots, was he a scuba diver?
The world is full of azzholes and you found one.

+1 That is something I MAYBE would have done in that situation. I know cooler heads prevail....but just don't think I could hold back.

yep

Nice!

This is a growing problem especially with the people leasing hunting ground Stand your ground folks and protect our rights.

+1

Way to go and thanks for sticking up for us anglers!
