Chipwood, I live on Aquidneck and volunteer on RISAA's public access committee. We have been successful in teaming with CRMC and designating public rights-of-ways throughout RI. Why do we want tobring attention to these spots? Because of what has happened to you and countless other people, not just fishermen. We are seeing a dramatic loss in rights of way along the "Ocean" State. Mostly due to rich people who don't want us (that's ALL of us, not just scup fishermen) in their backyards. I understand the frustation with "your spot" becoming more and known but don't go blaming McKenna and Soares. Blame the fact that people are losing their rights to the shore; causing guys to go to the fewer open locations and compounding the problem. I AGREE with you about the garbage. It's totally unacceptable but again, don't just blame the scup guys. We need to work together to keep these locations accessible. There are options. Send me a private message if you want to talk about what can be done. And anyone else out there who'd like to volunteer to help keep our access to the shore open, please consider joining RISAA's Public Access Committtee. You can either complain as we all lose"our" spots or help make a difference for our future generations. Kevin
