I know many want to fish close to shore or dock and most are great (most) but I just had someone anchor over our home water pickup. Asked nicely and they were helpful but it has lead to the question of responsibility for damage.
It would be catastrophic to fix it quickly.
What can be done to prevent issues?
Are they responsible?
Seems many get in your face if you speak to them about anything to do with fishing.
I am trying to keep the peace but some are looking for a fight.
I've had quite a few people anchor in front of my home and many people fishing in close. I've never had an issue, except for a few hook snags in my canvas. Almost all have been very friendly. I think for the most part you reap what you sow. Although there are some bad apples out there.

If you are worried about your pick up, maybe a marker would help keep people away.
