There should'nt be a permit system to use the pier, it's a state pier. Kind of like the state fishing pier in Nwpt. They can't keep anyone out but they can prevent you from parking there. Nobody has learned anything. Upping the price of parking permits in Newport still has'nt prevented people from making a mess of the access sites.The people who litter want to fish as much as the law obiding fisherman. I've seen the numbers of people file out of vans that have the sticker and they definitely were'nt locals. I've also seen the car left parked illegally with the woman and the kids waiting for the man to come back. I've fished a spot for a couple of hours and when I come back they're still parked there. Right now Burma Rd offers great access. To me the parking lot they want to put up looks too small. The locals who know this area know what the parking situation already is down there. Let's just hope with the development of the west side that these people developing don't take away the parking where you want to park aspect away from Burma Rd. Keep your eye out on these 55yr and older developments and that O'neill guys developments. Sometimes these people that move to our Island like to change things around.
