Plus if you don't have a "No Tresspassing" sign, they can walk right in and fish next to the "No Fishing" sign.

Interesting fun fact. I forgot that the waters are "free" to anyone. Your point makes sense now. Needless to say, is there any way to make a marina closed to fishing to everyone including the general public?
In all honesty, it's not that big of an issue. For the 5-10 fishing boats that come in throughout the year, it's not worth the hassle of trying to keep them out "legally", if at all possible.
