Well... to an extent anyway! LOL!
Waterfront Property owners do have certain Littoral Rights granted to them that the general public does not. For example they can install docks, rafts, moorings and a swim line.
I think a little courtesy goes a long way. Fisherman do have the RIGHT to fish in front of houses etc... but that doesnt mean they have to be rude about it... If someone is out sitting on thier deck @ 6am with a cup of coffee... quietly move on to the next house.
if your a waterfront property owner, and you dont want guys fishing in front of your place, petiton the DES or whoever is required and put up a swim line. No need to get angry or twisted about it. You bought property next to a public park...
I think most everyone on the lake is nice, extremely courteous and helpful. Its always the one or two that arent that get everyone in an uproar!
