I don’t have a problem with fisherman close to my dock or boat lifts as long as we aren’t in the water swimming. I have a neighbor who doesn’t like the fisherman close to his dock so he did the smart thing and put a 50 foot wide marked swimming area next to his dock. Boats can’t legally get within 150 feet of the swimming area so it solves his problem for the most part.

We are surprised how many people have been pulling up in front of our house to gawk or take pictures. Many times they come in closer than the end of our dock and on a weekend it’s sometimes dozens of boats each day. Hopefully there will be some other new house on the lake next year and the boat traffic will slow down in front of our place.
