Because you work as a guide or whatever doesn't give you the right to tell someone not to fish your water or artificial light. If I am wrong please show me the document you live by and I will say I am sorry and move on. I read all this stuff and sometimes can't help but ask for clairification.
It doesn't matter about documents... It's called common decency and being courteous to others that have put the time and effort and money to ensure they have baitfish when they head out to fish. I see lights on a dock slip I try staying far away as possible just because I believe it's the right thing to do (respectful I guess)! Sure those guys don't own the water but put yourself in the slip owners position it would be frustrating as hell having people spook off your bait. You have to look at it in another perspective not just the paperwork. OK I'm done with that.... In other news I've made a few trips down this year. The lake is all new to me never even saw the water until last year. Went out with my cousin who lives down there and he agreed thing we're slow but heard a couple fish bust the top of the water but never had any strikes. I've been skunked quite a bit but I'm excited over just hearing the fish nearby. can't wait to hook up on one.
