We have a cottage on the lake and the fishing must be great in our area because there are lots of fishing boats just off our dock and in the cove. I'm glad they get to enjoy fishing right off our dock - and sometimes beside it. I'm glad we get to enjoy the lake also. I have never felt like our privacy was invaded or that they were doing something wrong.
The only time I got antsy was when we watched a mother bass have little ones right beside our dock. She patrolled her spot like there's no tomorrow. A fisherman came by one day and threw his hook in and we hoped mom kept her mouth shut. Unfortunately she didn't. She was caught and thrown back in. She nwas caught 2 other times we know of and thrown back in. Apparently bass don't learn to keep their mouth's shut.
