I always thought that the land under the water was owned by the land owner but the land owner did not own fishing or hunting rights on the water unless you were on shore or standing in the water next to it.

Here’s the deal my neighbor and I were arguing about this, he told me that the land owner owns hunting rights on the water even though the lake is open to the public in the township. I don't believe this to be true as far as I know as long as I am 450 feet from an occupied building and in my boat, I don't see how he could do anything. I could not find a definite answer in the Michigan DNR guidelines.

Has anyone had this problem before? Does anyone know if the land owner owns hunting rights on the water (never setting foot on his property)?

Thanks
