Had this clarified by Marine Patrol once.
their answer was that you only own to the high water line..........anything else is a privilege.
I asked "So late summer when the lake is down, someone could have a picnic on my beach and no one could stop them?" The answer was YES.
I've been fishing and had people come running down their lawn screaming at me that I cant' come within 150 of their beach.......lol. I politely explain that 150 is the no wake limit and anyone can come closer at headway speed.
I have had people politely ask me if I could move along from their property and I always do. If they come at me screaming, swearing, even throwing rocks has happened..........you can bet I'll stay all day and call fish and game for sportsman harassment issues also.
I've even been told I'm "not allowed to catch MY fish" by land owners.......and I practice catch and release.
