I was in the media boat with Jim and the boat driver and we basically thought it was funny. There were three boats, the tournament anglers, the Fox Sports camera boat, and ourselves. At first he spoke to the boat that Jim and I were in, explaining that the BOARD had voted to make it no fishing, when Jim tried to explain to the guy that it was a navigable creek and was therefore open to the public the guy was not happy. After a few minutes of debate between himself and Jim, Jim informed him that it didn't matter anyway, because we were not fishing.
The guy then proceeded to the end of the dock and explained the situation to the anglers. The boater was very polite and after listening to the guy's spin, informed him that he was not fishing in illegal waters and that he intended to stay and fish. This made the guy very upset and he said he would inform the police. After he made several calls, he got flustered and finally begin taking pictures of all three boats and their occupants. That is when Jim, the boat driver and myself began taking pictures of him, taking pictures of us. All in all, it was a very enjoyable morning watching a rich prick being put in his place.
If they can post a navigable creek off the Ohio River, than this fall I intend to post the area of public land that I deer hunt at Taylorsville Lake! If they can claim they own the rights to public property, than so can I.
