Well, had no plan to fish today but my other stuff fell through. Been getting some pressure from Fiancee's 15 year old daughter to take her fishing, so, I finally did.

We trolled out front of Veteran's home and got a perch and she caught a small rainbow. After some time, it was time to try for Smallies, which I suck at.

Moved over to some docks and set up a couple of drop shot poles. She was having fun catching rock bass, which I was hoping she would enjoy. And, she did alright casting for the first time ever. She enjoyed being more pro-active while fishing as opposed to sitting there while I drove the boat around.

I hooked and lost one Smallmouth on the drop shot (yes, you know who, with a Gulp minnow). Probably a pound or so and that was it for the bass, well, the smallmouths, anyway.

Now, input wanted from the gallery here on whether I was right or was the home owner in the right:

Had my little 12' Smokercraft in between two docks and about 30-40 feet from shore and I heard this guy yell, from his deck of his million dollar house, "Hey, why don't you fish out there, away from the docks".

I said "What?"

He repeated his statement.

I said "This is state waters"

He came back, "You have no right to fish there, move out"

I said, "This is state waters, I can fish where I want"

He said, "Go on out there, be a nice guy for once"

I said, "I am a nice guy"

He said, "Then why in the hell are you fishing there"

I said, "Because I have the right, A$$H....." you get the picture

He went back inside, I was kind of infuriated.
