Here is the ‘letter of the law’. There is only one way to change it and that is to call the people who represent you in the state.
– No person may erect a dark house, fish house or shelter within 10 feet of an existing
dark house, fish house or shelter.
Now, a fisher with scruples knows this does not give you the right to set up on top of someone else. I have asked permission to drill near another guy in certain situations, but usually try to find my own way. At times, with 20 or more portables showing up in a hot spot, things get real cozy very quickly. If you anticipate a crowd, at least be there prior to sundown instead of drilling all around the shacks while the fish are on the bite.
I’m preaching to the choir here, but the person who sets up late, close, and noisily has the “Right” but not the ethics of a true sportsman. I usually make sure they hear that message clearly.
