8/4/2008 1:05:00 PMI know that they say fishing is not allowed in the marina, and the signs are posted, but in actuality, they can't keep you fishing from fishing in there. We need to not shy away from fishing anywhere there is navigable water that is not posted by the Washington State Game Department. I have been threatened on another Marina, and stood my ground. I told the guy (kid) there that I would wait until the Sheriff got there if he wanted to call him, and so I waited for over an hour, but he never showed up. Anyway, point is that nobody ownes the water, whether they are leasing it or not. If you can get there by a public launch, river, stream, etc, then you are in. But once you step onto the property, then you would be trespassing.
