Mooncusser, that was a joke. I was trying to lighten up the situation because most surfcasters and bait fishermen think that flyrodders think of themselves as elite, which is not true. Relax, your getting worked up for nothing. As Robrockcrawler stated the horseshoe crab harvesting at night has been a problem but carrying a little card in your wallet with some very important phone numbers could help an awful lot with that if you happened upon it, especially with your cell phone in your pocket. The flats at Monomoy are perfect for the flyrodder and access to them for them should be a high priority. So should access to the outer beaches of monomoy for surfcasters and bait fishermen. Policing ourselves should also be a high priority, whether it is at the Monomoy refuge or any shore you fish. It would be nice to see some other surfcasters at the April 6th meeting. Karl, don't be doubtful so fast. The failing fisherman have is that when faced with a dilemma concerning thier rights to fish or access to fish some where they usually don't put up much resistence as do other wildlife based groups. Here we have a chance to be heard and I will not let that chance go unheeded. If nothing comes of it than at least I can say I tried and that is all I am asking of you all. Let's at least try.

Why even try.........
