Male Karen SHUT DOWN By Fisherman

[@youjustlikeit3774]

I can't count the number of times this has happened. We just ignore the landowners except to give a quiet chuckle when their faces start turning red. Ignoring Karens makes steam come out of their ears. Every fisherman knows that people pay exorbitant prices for a view of the water. And we also know that what you ACTUALLY bought was a view of guy like me sitting in a leaky boat with a cold beverage in my hand. Cheers! 😂

@@greedo2660 Where I live hundreds of idiots built houses on a mountain that actually has a gravel quarry on the other side of it. They then act surprised when their million dollar homes begin to slide down the mountain because it's made of gravel and after years the support sometimes gives out. And then they want to sue. Dude you built a house on a mountain of gravel and you knew it because they've been digging it out of there for like 30 years. And on top of that it's right on a major fault line. When a big earthquake hits they are all going to come sliding down. The things people will do for a pretty view.

That sucks. Because than you have to let people walk through your private land. In my state, yes the rivers/lakes are public but you don't have to let anyone access it on your land. Sadly all the farm land run off makes it so you do really want to eat the fish if you catch.

The daily dot article gets this backwards. The law isn't what makes the water navigable. The fact the water is navigable (traversable by boat, etc) is what makes it public property.

In 99% of states almost all waterways like rivers, dams, lakes, etc are public domain when your on the water in a boat and in some places it counts the shore line as public too. For a lake area to be private in most states it has to be a fully contained water supply where the owner has containment of all the water like a pond or lake. But most streams, creeks, rivers, reservoirs, etc, where the water enters and leaves cannot be private by definition from the state where they own the water and its public. This is because the water is moving thru and up or downstream their usually is public access. Sadly as a fisherman, myself I've dealt with this identical situation of people yelling at me for being in a boat on a river.

When these fishermen actually do trespass, and it happens, things can get out of hand real quick. I live on a lake, and have a dock. There are people fishing around my property all day, everyday. Most are just fishing, and I've got no problem with that. However, some will come, and climb on my dock, and then start looking around at my gear. That's when it gets tricky. I've had the entire gas tank stolen off my pontoon boat while it was parked in my dock. I've got friends who have had their fish finders stolen off their boats, and people who have had their boats stolen. Once they get out of the boat, and walk on someone else's property, everything changes.
