No fishing pitman creek???

[mhall]

I have flipped and fished Grider slips for years and never had a word said to me. Now I skip the ones with boats in them and only hit the open slips. I do agree that if someone wants to stop people from flippin and banging lures off something very expensive that it is the right thing. However large distances away should not be an issue. I've seen guys banging 1/2 ounce jigs off of people's boats without any regard what so ever. If it was my boat they were doing that to, I would not be happy at all.

As usual its Knuckle heads that eventually ruin things for responsible people, just my 2 cents..

Google who owns the waters. I don't think based on that they can limit you from fishing that area. I have read case law from the supreme court and if it is a navigable water way I don't think they can keep you out. I have not been able to find it but there is a law out of Miami Fl. out of the supreme court that speaks to this.

Did something change or happen in Pitman recently? I fished Boat club area in the spring with no problem but haven't been back since.
