Mike is right ( as I assume he knows what he's talking about).
I kind of figured you were in a river that was close to the sea. Yacht Clubs, Bass, uptight home owners
figures.......
yes, ask a local attorney. I know from my brief studies that this is a CIVIL issue and that is the branch of law you should approach. I also gotta say that if it occurred in the Mid-Atlantic Bight region (South Cape Cod to NC) then the tidal change is between 2 and 4'. That would mean there isn't much distance between the high and low water marks.
Regardless, you have every right to be in the sea, in a boat fishing the edge like that. I am pretty sure the law is in place to protect the land that the LANDOWNER owns and not any abutting waterways within reason. Were you ON his LAND ?
DOesn't sound like it.
Were you playing LOUD music, littering, etc. ?
Doesn't sound like it.
whiners suck.....
bummer about the keys. been through that. don't leave home without my hide-a-key.
