Got the REAL answer!!!. This is pure Bull S*** that this is a federal law restricting fishing from "any floating structure". I copied this from the DFW wed site. Applies to ACE lakes and is an optional policy of the marina operator that leases (pays the ACE to opperate a public marina). Basically the marina is considered property of the leasee as he is the one paying the rent and he has the option to restrict fishing within 150 feet. This actually makes sense as the can be a lot of traffic in and around the dock ant they may not want the congestion of boats obstucting traffic. So any Floating structure is just pure Bull S***. Big govment is out to get us!!!

Public marinas
on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Lakes have contractual agreements
that address lease space on public
waters. The Corps presently allows
the marina owners or operators to
post signs that prohibit fishing within
150 feet of their floating structures.
These agreements do not prohibit
a person from fishing in their boat
rental slip. This policy does not apply
to privately owned boat docks on
Corps lakes.
