I know there were problems there a while back with the people that owned the property on Timber Is where people would just sort of help themselves to getting on shore and doing whatever even though there were signs that very clearly state that is private property no trespassing. I believe on several occasions some of the offenders were confronted not sure if by the actual property owners or not. Regardless it amazes me how little respect there is for no trespassing signs, unless there is some sort of emergency where it were necessary to do so. I guess everyone seems to think they don't apply to them and somehow the people that put them up are doing so merely as a suggestion. Same thing was going on with the rope swing that was on the other side of the island that eventually ended up being taken down.
That said if you're on the water and over 150' from shore anchored over there you should be good and whoever that guy was is wrong to be out there telling people to leave.
