Will be headed to PTown in the coming weeks, likely arriving Friday after 7pm. Since the ranger station is closed, can't get a permit until Saturday. Would like to go out Friday night... Thoughts?

It doesn't say if they mail the pass out to you so your better off calling and asking

When considering a 7-Day permit, be aware that as the Piping Plover population increases, the amount of ORV corridor may decrease significantly during June and July.

They don't mail the permit, pre registering just holds your spot.

Before you can go out you have to go to the Oversand station during there hours, get your permit, watch the Video and have your rig inspected if they chose.

You won't get away with it on Friday night, they'll be around out there.

probably too late for you to get this, but just in case, hit Herring Cove, or if you are going to wander away from your truck at night be aware that you may get a ticket if you don't have an overnight pass, so stick to Truro ocean beaches (Head of the Meadow, Ballston).

With the steady E - NE wind there is a LOT of mung on the back, but Herring Cove was clean this evening

Years ago, my old fishing partner RJ and I had a ranger pull his gun on us because we didn't have a permit on Friday night. Ugly confrontation.

Not surprising from a glorified mall security guard with LEO powers. Most of these guys are probably going to be the equivalent of Paul Blart Mall Cops in a few years. They get the shiny badge and go on a power trip. I haven't roamed the beaches nearly as much as many on here but it seems well greater than 4-in-5 of them are just complete D*#ks.

Years ago we would make a mass exodus to CCNS on April 1st, the day the permits were available. I remember getting there at 5 AM and there was a line of guys.
This was before the 7 day permits and there were a finite number of permits offered. Couple of 1000 as I recall. If you didn't get your permit during the first or second day at the latest, you were SOL for the year.
This was when the fishing was great and there were no seals and a lot fewer birds. When they started closing the beach near the Mission Bell, for the first few years we just ran around the signs. Then a few of us got caught and we stopped.

Man, I remember the fishing. We could start at the Second Rip and fish all the way to High Head. Banging big fish all the way. We walked away from 30#+ fish more than once because our arms were too tired to fight fish anymore.
