AGFC Marina rule

[mjenk]

Can BCB provide some clarity on the rule from AGFC on fishing marinas for us folks coming to Arkansas from another state for the OI?

The event rules more than protect anglers from the USACE rules in this district.

There are no AGFC rules, those are set by the USACE district out of Little Rock.

That still doesn’t answer the question other than stating USACE sets the rules instead of AGFC. The official rules just mention “all other state and federal regulations apply, including any beaver lake restrictions.”

USACE regulations limit distance to public marina structures to 100 feet. That does not exclude any item in the marina property. It is not just the fuel docks, it is any marina structure.

Private and Resort docks are open to fishing by any boater. Respect falls under the rules of Sportsmanship, which means if you stick a lure in the boat dock, retrieve it. If you damage a canvas, vinyl or any item on the boat(s) or the personal property, then you should act accordingly and be responsible for those damages.

Thank you and much appreciation for the clarification on the rule as I have seen other interpretations on various msg boards. Respect for others personal property is a given and I look forward to the event.
