True, the Spaldings own the whole west end. That chain is often closed, keeps out the jeeps and golf carts. This isn't really anything new, they've been closing it for the last few years. You can go the northern trail, go around the shoreline (ouch), or just quietly walk down. This is the trend all over the striper coast. I guess it's an inevitable part of the island getting more fishermen than previous years. I'd rather see few fishermen down there, anyway. Take a hint if you have special places you like to fish. Don't publicize them. Yes, it's a great spot. Yes, we love to fish it. But, if we post places like that, they'll receive more traffic and people will eventually ruin the access. Ideally, it shouldn't happen, and the spots should be open for access until eternity, but this is the real world. Keep those spots quiet. It'll delay their closure, and you won't have as much danger of making the long hike to find someone fishing your favorite rock.
