I don't know...I have more years fishing withOUT a boat than I do with one, so I sort of sympathize with people who are stuck on shore. That said, it IS a boat ramp or "take-out" point, so people who fish there should be prepared for some disruption.
I have my own beef~the launch I use is basically one of two roads (500 yards apart) that end at the lake I fish at most. One of these roads~everyone agrees....is an acceptable place to launch, most boaters respect the parking limitations (a pain in the a** by the way) and so on. Boaters and residents get along. But, for some reason, on the other road, the people who live beSIDE it (it is public land) believe that it should be used as a beach, not a launch. Neither spot has any signage to suggest one is, or isn't a launch/beach....nor is there anything suggesting such a limitation. I haven't had anything said to me in recent years, but last weekend, I chose to take-out in this spot, as the other road was jammed with a few other boaters and it appeared as though there was a truck stuck in the water. Anyhow, I had my kids and my elderly father with me, so opted for plan B~the "no-no" road. Long story short~the neighbor-guy cutting his grass shut his mower off and took me to task on my decision, even though he had no grounds to do so. Not wanting to upset the kids, I approached him quietly tell him to Pi**-off and mind his own business. Having about 10" in height on this guy, and probably 200lbs., he dropped the issue, but it wasn't a nice way to end what was otherwise a great outing.
So...........I understand your point. Its a shame to think that no matter how much time/effort/money you put into a boat and a day on the water, it sucks to think that you might end up in a argument when you hit land at the end of the day.
Sorry for the long-winded post...I'm venting too... :|
