I'm fairly well versed on riparian rights but back in the man made stuff I've never studded much but it probably fall under ordanary high water mark since most have some type of business in them and it's commerce movement that is the judging point on what is and is not sovereign.   As for the fishing i actually might disagree with dirty on this one although mind you without any real world experience in most of the bays go. With crappie (especially whites)and large mouth bass one of the big draws in the bays other then the lack of current is the warmer water. Combine that with both being HUGE fans of being near structure and especially shadows I'm normally going to to head straight for the docks and the more boats the better. Again I personally have never done it here but have caught untold number fish midsummer pitching baits in the cracks between the boats and the docks on other bodies of water. Hell this is more or less how I first got started fishing back in the 80's. I would bike down to the marina in jamestown with my friends and pick up some bait from Arnie and fish with bobber around the docked pontoons just south of the store and laugh as arnie would get out the bullhorn and yell at people going to fast in their boats......man those were fun days.</blockquote>
