I don't allow unknown people on the water in behind my house.
Sometimes just a simple loud GTFO will suffice. Others I crank up the airboat, aim the prop wash at them and shower down, maybe throw some bleach in the wash to clean their filthy mouths out.
Only once have I had to get phyiscal.
I am glad to only be a bird hunter with bird dogs...being a shooter or dog handler or whatever other niche exists to separate appears to generate far too much about which to worry.
30 years ago we were fishing towards Cabbage Key where we would have lunch. As we were working around an island 2 guys with Uzi's appeared onshore and told us we were trespassing and no fishing was allowed around this island. We knew we were not trespassing but also knew it was time to move on...
Rob R i think that epitomizes the old saying you can be "dead Right" back to the original post a i would have let the local authorities know and let them deal with it or not
I don't want anyone to hurt the dog, not its fault it has a horrible toxic upper class twit of an owner. And it happened on Pine Island itself, not far from the kayak launch so it can't be the first time that dog has gone after a yakker.
How can a post about an aggressive dog degrade to a pissing match between forum members?
It's no different than any other social media platform. Tough guys on the keyboard not so bold in person. Been happening since they were playing in their sandbox, once confronted in person the bully cowers.

You'd really kill a dog because it's owner is a c**t?
In less than a nanosecond....aggressive dogs should all be killed
Of course I'm not surprised, you're a cop. Cops are inherently scared when it comes to dogs. "Aggressive dogs" to cops are wagging their tails wanting to be petted.
Really, cops are scared in general, as much as **** pigs claim to "fear for their lives" before unloading on a civilian.
Day drinker....all "tanked up " LOL
PS...it's ex...been retired over 12 years...but I sure miss killin' those dogs. LOL
I wish.
Once a cop, always a cop. Y'all never lose that us vs them mindset.

You think you own the water in your back yard? I fish behind peoples houses all the time. They don't own anything below the high tide line. I am always having to educate wealthy but ignorant home owners. If your harassing fisherman, then you are the only one breaking any laws.
Now that, that has been said. 95% of the homeowners i meet are cordial, i usually learn their names and we swap fishing reports. The small percentage of homeowners who want to be buttholes, well we can just have us a **** contest. I take my sweet sweet time and fish their docks real good.

Yeah, it can get kinda weird. People like to fish near docks, and the homeowners that own the boat docks don't like the fisherman in the boats or kayaks or whatever, just lingering near the dock.
But the folks in the boat are fishing, so you have to linger near docks.
And homeowners don't own the water. It's a very weird situation. I've found that it's best to be respectful and tolerant in these situations. As long as everyone is being respectful, everything should be fine.
Although I don't think it's cool to train your dogs to chase off fisherman that are just fishing. That ain't cool.
I have only had to maim one dog when I was about 13 yo when I had an afternoon paper route delivering the Miami News. Back then there were no leash laws in Dade County. This dog was a large male German Shepard in the wealthy part of Coconut Grove near Bay Shore Drive. The dog was always out in the front of the house and would try to take me down off the bike everyday. Back then paperboys were expected to fend off dogs with just a stick but this dog was not deterred by a bare stick, so I fashioned a 30 inch gig to defend myself. I finally was forced to drive the steel gig down its throat which removed part of its tongue that remained on the gig’s barbs. Never saw that dog again
When we were kids we rode our bicycles fishing alot. Again no leash laws so one of us always tied a bank sinker on the line. Whack as aggressive dog with a 1/2 sinker once or twice and they usually left us alone
Heck if ,n I seen that I'd break out the suntan lotion , the Cushions and put something sexy and slow paced on the radio..Start waving Hi come on over . I got a big Eel right over here...You sexy thing you..
No reason to be scared of a swimming dog. They are no threat to you. What kind of weenie would be scared enough to shoot a swimming dog? The owner needs some manners, but the dog is a non threat. And if you are in fear of that, you need some help

I am armed and always looking for a reason to use it.

On occasion people have to be reminded followed with some obligatory cursing and instruction on bodily functions.
I am always armed and prepared to protect myself and family from 2 and 4 legged critters.
Call me an ****, I do not care.
I have a dog, he is a well behaved Aussie, he won't even leave the yard unless I tell him it is OK.
I have NO USE for alligators with hair, as a matter of fact, I am 5 for 5 on the roving, feral, vicious neighborhood pitbull shoot.
I put a 230 gr. slug through the head of one that was attacking one of my local animal control officers several years back.
If you cannot control your vicious, biting menacing dog.. I will.
Sometimes it's hard to tell.
Many things to do.
