I thought the front barge was required to have running lights and a
flasher.
At any rate the sun was up when this happened

Then again, if the fisherman were familiar with the area, then they
should have known to watch for barge traffic.

Depends, was where they were for shiping? I can't believe barges are
considered to be the right of way near anchorage points for example. No
mater what their size.

Hey, for that mater does a barge get the right to go over a marked
swiming area because it is navigatable?

Marked anchorages are there to park and do stuff like sleep or go to
shore. And ANY craft just a barreling though is out of line. You read
the regs ... Anchorages and swiming areas, out of control barges would
be guilty as it gets.
