Several years ago on Lake Martin, on a cold February day, I caught a couple of crappie in front of a pier. I probably was the only person stupid enough to be fishing that day. A man came out of his house from 50 yards away and told me I could not fish there. I told him I could fish anywhere on Martin because it was a PUBLIC LAKE. He threatened to kill me if I didn't move. It got somewhat heated after that. Folks,the length of time a person fishes in front of your lot in a public lake has nothing to do with anything. Common courtesy won't let me fish around your place if you are on your pier or fishing there. But if no one is there I'm gonna fish. When someone comes out of there cabin with the sole purpose of harassing a legitimate activity on the lake, then I consider that person to be the troublemaker. By the way. I used to have a lot on the lake. People fished my pier all the time. It didn't bother me a bit.
