And simply saying it isn't the same doesn't hold water unless you can provide a valid argument as to how it isn't the same. I never claimed to own the bait or water just as I never claimed you owned the picnic table or the land underneath it. So how is it really not the same? I can answer that. It isn't the same because I actually do have more rights to my slip than you do to the picnic table.
???? Duayne I believe I said it is not the same... you dont have a leg to stand on in the eye of the law it is all about courtesy. Are people actually touching or entering your slip? I have never fished in someones slip or under their lights from a boat or the dock.
