Congrats to everyone on being able to discuss this without getting it locked down. We just had this conversation, and it didn't go quite as well.

I use to live on TRL, and we had a slip at a dock, so maybe it's not quite the same, but people fished around our boat and our stuff all the time, and I don't remember spending one second caring. We were responsible for the upkeep of the dock, and it wasn't really a problem. Sometimes I wonder why guys can't break off when they get caught on the cables without leaving 20 yards of line behind, but they do that all over the lake.

Now I live up by Lake of the Ozarks. If you are unfamiliar with LOZ, just look it up on Google Earth. The shoreline is pretty much one long stretch of docks for much of the lake, and all of those folks are privileged to have those docks. So yeah, they get fished a lot (although the docks in prime areas obviously get a lot more attention). Doesn't seem to be near as much of a problem in reality as it is in theory around here. There are some knuckleheads on both sides of the issue, but that applies to pretty much any situation in live.
