Cuttyhunk is part of the Town of Gosnold, Dukes County, Commonwealth of Massatwo#^&#^&#^&#^&s....BUT, it is a different world.
The Cuttyhunkers try to keep the beaches and shore of the Island free and available.
If you want to fish Nashawena or Pasque by the shore route it can be arranged but must be well in advance. There are caretakers on all of the Elizabeths. Naushon can be fished but there again, one has to know who to speak with and when. The "easy" answer is that Nashawena, Pasque and Nashon are Private Property.
I was blessed to know the Caretakers years ago and have been allowed to hunt Ducks and Geese and even ride the horses. When I was nine I stayed a week with Mr. Olsen on Pasque and was taken all over the Island, surf casting and reaping the harvests of the Ponds and Streams.
Unfortunatly, there are too many people around today to try to do those things. But, if you know the right folks and go about it right, you would be amazed what one could do.
I can offer an apology, after you offer yours for doubting me when I posted that the Beaches are free. I think you have found by your own research that the beaches are free for fishing and fowling.
I accept your apology.
Sorry if you got hurt feelings from having and old fart like me jump on you for questioning something I posted. I try not to send persons astray. I didn't land here from another planet yesterday. I don't say it unless I can prove it.
God loves you and I am trying to, as well.
