restornator: I have a dock on Nolin as well and I put brush out near it as well as other areas of the lake. However, I could care less who fishes it, because it's public water. All I ask is that they be courteous and respectful of my property (dock, boats, etc.)...otherwise, it's fair game my friend. Now, what I would say is that regardless of whether or not someone is fishing your dock (from a boat), if you were to show up at the dock with rod and reel in hand and ready to fish, I would expect that they'd be courteous and yield to you since you are limited to that area and own the dock (not the water though mind you).
