However, I sympathize with dock owners being apprehensive about people fishing around their docks at night: they're prob. afraid of theft. One time I had a bass fisherman fish my dock at 3:00 am. I watched him from the cabin and picked up my shotgun just in case.

I have no problem with that Maggies, I'd do the same thing these days cause it ain't like it used to be. That cove I trolled way back in and used my spot light to search for beds with I didn't stay back there very long and was hoping the guys watching me would simply see I was looking for fish, or evidence of fish that is. Youve still gotta give folks a certain amount of trust. I think if somebody ever stepped out on my dock i'd let em know I was there.

Whether it is river fishing, ocean, lake, or stream, structure is where one looks for fish. Last time i checked, docks are structure. There will always be people, who do not want to share. Apparently, they never watched sesame street.
