I have talked to one of the rangers who works for F&W at monomoy. They have a big problem there with people poaching horseshoe crabs at night. That may be a reason behind not allowing night fishing. I would think that more eyes on the beach would decrease the poaching. unfortunatly, the trash left behind by some fisherman is probably another reason its closed after dark. Ive never been out there but the ranger i know who works out there said i could tag along on patrol sometime, and that i could bring a rod with me.
