My recollection is that a designated swiming area, one posted by a red buoy, dictated that a boat could not be within 100 ft of the area. Our lakes, rivers and streams are borrowed from our children. An excess of opinion resides at the juncture of not knowing what you don�t know. T. Melito Life is like toilet paper: ur either on a roll or taking crap from some AH

I can see me going for a swim and climbing my dock only to get a treble hook in me. I would not be a happer camper! I'm not fat, I'm fluffy!

You're still responsible if you damage a dock, boat or boat cover with your lure. The 100 foot limit is for waterskiing. You can't fish in a permitted swim area.

Everyone I fish will retrieve their bait, though a proficient caster will rarely hook a dock or boat. But, if it does happen we attempt to retrieve the bait without touching anything so as to avoid any tresspassing ordeal. Though I would hope most property owners would rather me breifly grab hold their dock rather than leaving a hook behind.

CWood Man Stop Bitchin' And Get Fishin'! Registered: 02/13/04 Posts: 22906 Loc: Villas NJ	I was fishing next to the swim area at New Fairfield town beach, between the swim area and town docks. The lifeguard got on the bull horn and said I had to be at least 200 feet away! CHANGE IS SCARY BUT IT IS REWARDING ON THE OTHER SIDE!
