Federal Law?

[CTFSHWHISKER]

as hyped up as some you get about this i see now why i'm not catching any dang fish,i never fish around marinas.if these marina owners are paying a lease then if they wish to do this then so be it,from spending alot of time on a hoseboat,at a marina i can tell you Dave is about dead on,some have absolutley no courtesy,and we,they get tired of lures hung in their boats and ropes,and some do take it on themseves to cut them out.besides,on a lake the size of nolin,or the enourmous cumberland,why do you need to fish at the marinas?you have a boat with a nice size motor you can go anywhere,lots of the h-boat owners don't,and therefore the marina owners keep it for them.and as far as paying a $5 fee,that pales in comparison to what it cost to keep a houseboat moored a year.and remember,this law is kinda like speeding,so when those that want to blatantly break it get a ticket,don't be crying about it.

It seems to me that privately held docks have their own right to restrict fishing just like leased docks. A privately held structure is property just like a farm pond on private property. It seems to me that the corp had to write something up granting leased docks the rights already afforded those who own as its a little bit of a gray area.

I could see the same situation if someone who leased a property that contained a farm pond attempted to enforce a no trespassing sign. It would be up to the actual owner to enforce the sign unless the owner passed that right on to someone who leased.
