Just last night my husband and I we're hanging out on our dock enjoying the peace and tranquility of the lake we live on. Two fisherman came over in their boat and proceeded to fish 5 feet off the corner of my dock, 30 feet away from us. Now, I fully realize that it's a free lake to anyone who wants to use it and that they have a right to fish near the dock, but when the homeowners are on their dock enjoying a quiet evening, is it still appropriate? After about 40 minutes they were still there and we decided they weren't leaving any time soon and we left the dock feeling very frustrated that they had absolutely no respect for us. It's a large lake that is not busy and there are plenty of docks to fish that have no one sitting on them. I thought it was extremely rude of them but I didn't say anything because I thought they might get angry and then make a point of coming back more often just to annoy us. There is a respect for other human beings that these two fisherman ignored and now I see fisherman a little differently.
