It does sound like it needed to be made clear to the adjacent landowner. Better to have been settled with you who stayed calm and professional. The next guy might not have been as such. Good Job IMHO.

Nice job..... I don't understand some people...
the water doesn't belong to them and if the tree or roots are in the water they are property of BRA

Next time perhaps press charges on the landowners harassing a law-abiding sportsman? I believe there is a law to that effect...

You should have filed charges on them. Its against the law to harrass fishermen and hunters when they are legally fishing or hunting. But you did good anyway.

FISHERMEN. (a) This section may be cited as the Sportsman's Rights
Act.
(b) In this section:

birds, fish, reptiles, or amphibians.
(2) "Process of hunting or catching" means any act
directed at the lawful hunting or catching of wildlife, including
camping or other acts preparatory to hunting or catching of
wildlife that occur on land or water on which the affected person
has the right or privilege of hunting or catching that wildlife.
(c) No person may intentionally interfere with another
person lawfully engaged in the process of hunting or catching
wildlife.
(d) No person may intentionally harass, drive, or disturb
any wildlife for the purpose of disrupting a person lawfully
engaged in the process of hunting or catching wildlife.
(e) No person may enter or remain on public land or enter or
remain on private land without the landowner's or his agent's
consent if the person intends to disrupt another person lawfully
engaged in the process of hunting or catching wildlife.
(f) This section does not apply to a peace officer of this
state, a law enforcement officer of the United States, a member of
the armed forces of the United States or of this state, or employees
of the department or other state or federal agencies having

that the officer, member, or employee is in the actual discharge of
official duties.
(g) A person who violates this section commits an offense.
An offense under this section is a Class B misdemeanor.

Good job! There's no way he could determine your anchor was in contact witht the roots, and too many people have a misconception of private vs public. Until you tell somebody to stay of your property, your front porch is legally open to the public.

I am sorry you were not able to catch any fish, but that was a very good job in keeping your ground. You were within the law and did not make the situation worse. I wonder how they must have felt, you def were not the ahole, they were.

Sounds like the lady and her son in law either had a screw loose or were running a Meth Lab and were afraid that you might see something you weren't supposed to.

Kudos to you for standing your ground - you handled it perfectly!! thumb clap



There's a fine line between fishing and sitting on the water looking like a darn fool.
