Reading this thread gives me a bad feeling that these bird wackos are going to win.

It goes something like this: beach gets closed to protect plovers under bogus pretenses - more plovers hatch which is then touted as a success by the enviro crazies - more beach is closed more often the following year - fewer and fewer people buy passes - enviro wackos say traffic is down which has led to a plover revival - passes are further reduced and/or the beach is closed for good.

Next stop, Outer Banks, NC.

Personally, I'm buying a sticker every year for two reasons. One, so they know I want it now and forever, and two, because the fishing is still not bad. (I agree fall '03 was the last "great" fishing, but I've caught plenty of good fish the last few years as well...sometimes 50 yards from some frolicking seals.)
