Well, Well, Well...
My intention was not to Slam the author, I am sorry if my 2 previous posts suggest that. I am just saying that he was too explicit, and his editor shouldn't have let it go that far, seeing as I have learned through this thread it was Steve's second article. Never met Steve, but have heard of his reputation, kinda surprised he'd be so explicit.... spots, location, whatever... my primary issue has been, and always will be access, seen way too much of it lost in my lifetime, and I'm just under 50.
Anytime something like this comes out, and FD's Hotspots is a good example, although it is a 20 YO book written about fishing 30 years ago, most of it still rings true, and the impact of that book has gone on ad nauseum ever since.
But, anything to increase traffic, illegal parking, due to overcrowding, litter, etc, some can joke about it, but litter, bugs the hell out of me, and people in high dollar shorefront RE, that hate it even more. Those folks pay a premium in RE tax, so when they start calling and complaining, selectmen, PD's, etc. they are all ears.
Consider the impact before you publish, and yes Bill, I will be sending a wordy email, or snail mail to OTW...

John, sorry for the alley fight, not my intent, you wanna pull the plug, or lock this, go ahead....
