Last 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.

Great job, glad it turned out well. What worries me is the crazies might not call the cops just start shooting. It is amazing that lake front property owner think they own the lake.

Granbury has few people with lakefront property that seem to be that way, the new housing development behind the Home Depot has a few that freak out while you flip the boat docks. As long as you aren't walking around on their land and don't beach the boat, then you aren't doing anything wrong.

There you go raising #### with the elderly in DeCordova! These are good people and you should have moved!! You know your boss lives in DeCordova and maybe she will have a few words with him and then we will see if you move!!

Sounds like you did the right thing. We have a public lake in the San Antonio Area(Lake Mcqueeney). The homeowners there will also call the Sheriff's Department on anglers who are not breaking any laws. The results are the same as yours. The Deputies or Game Wardens say no laws are violated and life goes on. I would have really loved it if you had caught a Huge Bass While her son in law was there. Again nicely handled.

You did the right thing,some people think because they own land on the lake,they own the water to.

Stop stir You know dang well you wouldn't have moved either.

Bryan post gps coordinates and I'm sure some other people would be glad to pay the spot a visit.

Too bad the GW didn't show up. Maybe he (or she) would have written the landowners a ticket for harassing you while fishing.

You definately did the right thing....As long as you're 100% in the lake, you don't have to move.
