Yes, sad reality. The law that allows this was written to cover land adjacent to rivers during floods. It did not take long for the land owners in tidal zones to jump on the bandwagon.
This law combined with another law that states all land is posted and you must have written permission on your person stacks the odds against the fisherman.
Tidal zones should have its own law and be governed differently.
I have seen a video where tournament fishermen were warned about private canals but never heard of someone getting ticketed yet.
