Trespassing while Fishing question

[41mag]

What about if you are floating in the middle on a raft/tube and have an anchor down to hold you to one spot?

My deed says my property goes to the middle of the road. Jerks keep tearing down my fence and fence posts every time I put them up.

Technically trespassing according to the DNR. The DNR can write you a ticket for trespassing or fishing without permission if you are simply anchored down on river bed that is owned privately.

However, I do know for a fact the prosecutor in Meriwether County will just throw the charge out.

Shoot a bunch of holes in a target and attach to pole down by the creek with a Target Range sign

Or even a few “DANGER !! CONTAMINATED WATER! “ signs may work

maybe even a few realistic looking plastic skulls stuck on sticks , with no trespassing signs

recently having trouble with trespassers on a creek that the DNR stocks Trout (they come from Cobb and Fulton)
most fish while standing on the bridge

Am I correct in assuming
that if you are in a flowing creek that goes through Private property
and you feet are on the ground you are trespassing
trespassing
and
if you are floating on the water not touching the ground it is not trespassing
still trespassing if both sides of the creek are owned by one owner, or both owners post it

Not clear how fishing from the bridge enters into the question. The public can fish from the bridge or under the bridge to the edge of the right of way, where the waterway becomes private property again.

unlike some states, the public cannot use the bridge to gain access to the private waters.

For all of you who say you can "float on through" because the water is owned by the state, I suggest you read the Georgia Supreme Court case
Givens v. Ichauway, Inc.

The Supremes say "it just ain't so."
