Funny (not really) that you two both mention that you have not seen spent line bins down in CT. Faithfully reading my NE Fisherman today, the opening editorial speaks again that Connecticut spends the least of any state on it's own DEP programs. So few tax dollars allocated to those resources even though, like most other northeast states, so much money is brought in because of this sport.

Well on Penfield reef, you've got water to your left, water to your right, water in front of you and water behind you. It makes anything you want permenant really hard to keep there. LOL. Yeah DEP could really use some help. I must admit that they do their best but I'm sure with better funding they could do better.

the licencing fees go into the general fund not out to the resources . The DEP is so lame, its not the everyday worker its management and government . I fish in many of the northeast states for a variety fishes its night and day out there between the various dems and deps . Ct lacks all of the nation I bet or very near the bottom . Many clubs end up beating their heads against the wall with reguard to the dep . Maybe those that are in CT clubs can elaborate on this better than me . One day maybe they will get it straight . Hell someone cant even have a glass of wine with dinner in any state park . Im not condoning drinking but as an adult I think I should be able to down some wine as long as I dont drive . Can we all say comunism .
damn soap box there I go again tripping over it again could the last person that used the soap box please put it away when your done ............................... oops that was me never mind

I believe we are west of you now not south . Remember you moved to RI ;) lol . its friday

Actually, I am a bit sick and maybe a little cranky. I didn't mean to come off so... well, sounding like a jerk.

It just kinda hit me when I thought about some of the places we go and how I would feel if that was my house. And I just related it to my own house and yard and realized that it would likely piss me off.

Not so much the beach itself... more access to beach through my property. (i.e. a certain jetty that you love)

The actual shoreline is in my mind and the law's view more of a public domain. The ocean doesn't belong to anyone. Its obviously a touchy and complex subject of which I can see both sides.
