If you haven't heard about this subject, I suggest that you do a quick Google search.

Seems that a fisherman in Florida was blasted with Joyce's water hose when he (SHOCK) attempted to fish near her dock. Police and all,..quite a donnybrook.

I won't give the story away, but.....it is worth the search, IMHO.

On the reverse side of things. I was at my sisters house who lives on a lake and was fishing off her dock one day. I had a bass fisherman in a boat come up and tell me that I could not fish off the dock because he was in a tournament at the moment and I was screwing his chances of winning up.

Ha Ha Ha.....dope. Some tournament guys think they own the water. Hope you didn't quit.

At the lake I frequent the most, there is a narrow canyon area that is productive certain times of the year. It doesn't really get "crowded" with boats trolling, but you do have to watch where you are going. Especially if guys are using planer boards. There is a fishing guide that I will always give up the lane for. He is a friendly guy who is willing to share, not to mention a very good fisherman. I figure he is "at work" so I'm happy to give up a lane if I see him coming. If he wasn't such a nice guy, I probably wouldn't.
 
Latest pix on FB showed 50+ boats on the water and numerous cars blocking her road. She deserved it. I'll bet her neighbors would be happy if she would just move.
 
I think she has probably learned her lesson. I think folks should let it go now. No need to gang up on her any more. Well, that is assuming she has learned her lesson.
 
The "protest" will probably die of it's own accord, as I'm sure most of them have their favorite fishing holes, and will go back to them. Now, if the problem is rather prevalent in that area, it might extend naturally, until folks sense that the message has been delivered to others that feel they own the water.
