I'd guess 99% of dock owners don't mind people fishing nearby. I expect that experience would lead fishermen to not anticipate confrontation. Fishing is very peaceful. Why break the mood with a lot of shouting?
In the meantime, I'd rather have people fishing 20 feet away than dropping anchor 200 feet away and cranking the tunes. Actually, for whatever reasons those who fish and anchor in our area are all pretty quiet.
