This guy was on Wellhouse Point casting away from the Marina, but the fellow working there came out and told him to leave. They got into a shouting match and the patrol was called. The angler eventually wound up with trespassing charges against him. I called the owner, who I'd worked with on a fish structure project and asked him to get the charges dropped. He said he'd see what he could do and I don't know what finally happened with it.

Generally the folks who own the marinas are well connected and can cause the average angler problems if they want to push it. I ain't saying it's right, but If they have signs posted or come out an threaten, I'd advise fishing somewhere else.
So he was standing on land? On private property? I don't think anybody would dispute that that's trespassing.
