Peeps Fishing on your property, opinions?

You need a large mean azz slobbering barking dog, and some beware of dog signs combined with no trespass signage.

Signs are a good idea. It clearly marks the border so they KNOW they are trespassing and helps the LEO enforce this.

They sell no hunting/no fishing signs pretty cheaply.

Fence!!!

Due to easement, fence only goes back so far, leaves plenty of room for trespassers.

Come out in a pair of Speedo's, cowboy hat and a bottle of baby oil dancing to to the Village People's YMCA on a boom box.....They should run away....If they don't run and begin dancing as well then it may be time for you to run....

I was going to suggest a paintball gun but the Speedos idea would scare me worse.

Are we talking; It puts the lotion on its skin, or You've got a purdy mouth.

I'd get to know the DNR folks and call whenever this happens. Also take pics and get license numbers. More signs, stronger signs: "Achtung! Minen, eintritt verboten."

Buy a canon. Pretty sure you can put blank shots together. Crank one off every two minutes until they decided to seek quieter places to trespass.

Village People on the boom box covers both "purdy mouth".....For "lotion on it's skin" I would have Tom Petty "American Girl" on the boom box...

Print up some "Private Property Fishing Permit" and charge $50 for one.

The answer is to have me come out there and fish full time for a few weeks. They will see me not catching anything all the time and get discouraged and move on. It's a war of attrition man!

You would likely be shocked at the number of Hoosiers that are sure alligators live here. I run into them frequently. The Hoosiers, not the alligators.

Just start correcting them that they are Crocodiles, not alligators. If you say it with a serious tone people will believe anything you say.

Bonus points for sinking a compressed air cannon a couple yards from their shore and setting it off immediately after touching off the cannon. Blank cannon followed by a percieved splashdown? Thats a pants poopin!

Can you stretch a lightweight chain across the easement with "no trespassing" and "no fishing" signs hanging from it?

Anyone needing official access to the easement can simply unhook the chain and do thier bidness.

Most people don't understand that an easement != public property. I deal with this frequently as there is a drainage easement leading to a retention pond in my back yard. Kids like to take a 15 second short cut through my, and other's, back yards instead of using the sidewalk.

Occasionally I'll get some entertainment though as geese like to nest back there. The most recent kids that thought they would take a shortcut didn't see the geese coming up behind them after they stepped over the nest. I needed popcorn for the ensuing hilarity as the two split and one fell down with an angry goose on her back.
