I've witnessed some true stupidity down there. Was there at 4:30 am on Tuesday morning and wasn't surprised at the amount of junk lying amongst the rocks.
I met a guy on the southwest point (where the calm water starts to make up to the right of the rocks out front) there on Sunday evening (same ethnicity) with two rods securely standing up, held in the rocks. When I asked him what he was using, as he sat back and relaxed against the wall, he stated "eeeewes".
He surprisingly mentioned that he had been there for 3 hours and hadn't caught a thing.
Another time, there was a family of about 10 people with 6-8 rods out...you know, the kids, mom, dad, uncles, aunts...all together. I walked past them and started fishing that SW corner of the point. There was another guy (experienced surfcaster) that knew what he was doing about center-left towards the southeast corner. He hooks up and pulls in a 32 inch striper. He turns and walks it back up towards the wall and the family dad almost immediately walks down and takes up residence on the same rock that this guy was fishing on. The guy with the fish just stops and stares in disbelief and looks over at me...I just shake my head and keep watching. Next thing I know, Dad is hooked up and rod is bent over...not being familiar with reeling I guess, he is having a hard time and both myself and the other surfcaster just watch. Pretty soon I see that he is definately hooked up...with a cormorant! With all the family running around on the rocks watching Dad deal with a seriously pissed off bird, both myself and the other surfcaster pack up and leave, in disgust. On the way out, of course, I had to step over the empty squid and sand worm boxes, Walmart plastic bags and dunkin donuts cups that they left behind.
It would be great if DEM would patrol some of these areas, even just on weekends or on nice days when you know they are going to be out in force.
I see the same crap happen at the first breachway east of WH, which is probably why I never go there anymore.
