I understand the complaint.

I have several docks that are rented out in a commercial area. For many years people came in cars, used my parking lot, and fished from my docks. They left everything from bait to soda cans for me to clean up. Once when I stopped by one of the fisherman was standing on someones swim platform fishing.

After numerous complaints from the tenants renting docks about fish hooks stuck in their lines or their canvas covers I put up several "no fishing/no trespassing" signs. That reduced the complaint s by about 80% but I still find people fishing there several times a year. Some people just don't get it.
