When someone goes out of their way to interfere with your lawful fishing/hunting activities they are breaking the law & calling for a CO to enforce the law is an option.

Now that I am soon to be a waterfront owner my thoughts have not changed. I won't care if they fish my waterfront with respect.
This means no hitting my dock, lift or boat etc etc and even more unapropriate language is also a no no as some kids may be an earfull away.
But now if someone dares casting and lord help them catching muskies on my waterfront then that's a different story.

I do enjoy writing Wolf—thanks.wolfe wrote:I gotta say, that made me laugh, too. Quite the colorful writing, bl8ant; you should take a creative writing course. It might lead to a career.bl8ant wrote: ....when the cottage owner stood up (shirtless belly glistening in the sun) and addressed me with a stern voice. "What makes you think I want to wake up Sunday morning and see you fishing 20 feet in front of my dock?"
I replied saying that I didn't particularly enjoy seeing an overweight shirtless man where I was fishing but that some things are beyond our control.

It didn't end so well hookup. He had his chest puffed out and was waddling around hands on hips huffing and puffing like a threatened penguin. Telling him that I recognized him from his big screen debut on "March of the Penguins" was lost as was my questioning if his actions were part of a mating call.
Later he threatened to put out his diving buoy, educating me on how far away I'd have to stay if I was to abide by the law... At that point the situation took a turn for the worse and I'll leave it at that.
Sometime you do things that you regret later in life, sometimes you do things that you know you should regret but don't. But I'm all grow'd up now.
