No you can't fish in either of these situations. You agreed when you rented/bought your dock to follow the marina rules. If they imposed a rule against fishing in your marina, you must follow those rules. The general public never agreed to those rules, so they don't have to follow them.

Now breaking a marina rule is not breaking a law, so the police or Fish and Games people won't bother you. The management of the marina can do whatever they do to rule breakers.
