Hi flippy!
Good topic! I did have that happen to me once!
(I'm assuming you mean from a boat towards someone's dock)
The answer is NO if the waters is publicly owned by the state or town.
The dock is private property, BUT the water around and under it is NOT!

Hi Flipper, if you are on salt (tidal) land owner only ownes to the mean high water mark. you can fish from the water right up under his dock. You can't walk out on his dock and fish no matter how olng or if there is water under it or not. (His permit gives him this right.) All this UNLESS, you try to fish down the beach near the Kenedy compound or up here near the GWB compound out in kennebunkport.
