I had a similar experiance. Here in NC, Lake Norman. I set out to go fishing for BG, I had heard there was CNBG in the lake. I grabed a UL pole a few worms and set out. I went to the public lauch, started fishing and just about got arrested. OH ya if you dont have a boat your not welcome at the lauches..any of them. You cant even go in to the parking lot unless it is to launch a boat. So I set off to find a little spot to fish. 3 hours of serching, up every road down every corner I could find. There is no place someone from foot can fish. Every single bridge is posted and every inch of shorline is either owned private ot posted. Bottom line if you dont have a boat, your not welcome is the feeling I got. The Sherrif sent me to the state park and painted this great picture of fishing and everything, it was a Paved road with forest on both sides and to fish you had to track threw the woods down huge mountains to even get close to the water.
