I presume these are people from the area?

No idea. Some of the tournaments they have on our chain of lakes are National

I see. So, they have permission to fish in these communities then. I guess it would be kind of rude if they were unknown people fishing in community resident's back yards. But then again, the waterways are probably property of the development, so they can rent them out for events. Mo money!

Our Harris chain of lakes connects all the way to Jacksonville via the St Johns. Public water.
All wateways are owned/controlled by Sgt Johns River Authority I believe. They could camp out in my dock and as long as they arent on land they're free to do as they please.

One reason I can use old fashioned MD in this enclose area where tree limbs and shadows don't set it off
