420...............Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) is a biological term made up by a drunk grad student or a group of GS 15 environmentalist during a wild orgy weekend......in my humble opinion. Yes, it is used as a regulation benchmark (above or below) but its to much of a moving target for me. There is actually nothing ORDINARY about it.
Its not tied to statistics so its of no use to me and if you get 2 people to agree on it i will give you $1.00.
OHWM and bankfull are not the same.

Seems like only yesterday. I find it ironic that Primos makes a big deal about standing up for the preservation of access to hunting areas. Lol.

So i remember that case, and basically it was said you (Public) don't have the right to fish, but you can navigate. Well my question for the legal folks would be what if I were a guide and making money fishing, then would the commerce clause apply on interstate waters and allow me to fish as it would be commerce then rather than simply recreation?

Bottom line is this stuff happens more and more and more often. I have three different cases of this stuff on my desk right now where folks along the MS river have built levee's structures or put in pipes and road crossings to keep the public from boating into oxbows. I'm just waiting on the water to go down to access these areas and see what is actually going on.

I’ll be your client — you be the guide. Punch in Gassoway Lake on the GPS and we’ll try ‘er out.

You guys joke around, but that is exactly what is needed... Court cases and precedent. Hope ya got fat pockets, they will be needed...










Boats can travel ANY part of that waterway that they want to. BUT!!!!!!!!!!! Every vessel is responsible for its wake. Coast guard has jurisdiction. Complaints with boat info and schedule will require a report. Contact boat Company with info and cords with report and the old guy will probably be made whole...and them move away..


Fact is, they are responsible for their wake!
