I have also had a similar problem here on the south shore..... I have been told that I cannot fish in several areas that I have always fished... there are no signs... after one night I left without arguing with the officer(he had an attitude while first inquiring what I was doing, this changed after I said I would leave) several nights later I went to town meeting and questioned the selectmen on this and was told I have every right to fish there..... last week back at the same place... had no luck and was just leaving when a police car pulls up and shines spotlight in my eyes and asks what I was doing.... I informed him that I had just cast a line out to test the waters... he let me go without further questioning but as I was driving down 3A I turned on my scanner in time to hear my plate being run.... now I grew up in this town and to have my plate run and be questioned on what I was doing in a public place is getting me pissed.... fisherman are just not wanted by all the "new" residence that think the town is so quaint and new englandish.... damn, I can't stand folks that have no clue as to the history of the area and think it is for their pleasure and theirs alone.....
