    Video from a tournament yesterday:

    This was on the Ohio River in Louisville, KY at the Louisville Yacht Club Marina.

    A marina (like most others on this waterway) puts up signs that say "no fishing" and various other things like "no trespassing" or "violators will be prosecuted"

    A marina cannot legally stop fishermen from fishing in the marina. They put up signs with no legal justification behind them. As a result, slip renters feel like they can do whatever they want to enforce the posted signs.

    The police did come and talked to all parties. The officer called the KY Dept. of Fish & Wildlife and was told no law is being broken by fishing in the marina.

    Occurrences like this are common in the area, and this is the first one I've seen recorded on video. In such a situation, know your rights and stand by them; the more who give in to this type of harassment, the more we're going to see it happen.
