it is long standing tradition in the public fishing spots in RI to leave your bait behind in its container for someone who comes down without money to buy bait. this has been going on since i was 4 years old and fished the west wall with squid and clams. I know that there are a lot more people fishing now and that the contaiers are mostly plastic now as opposed to paper in those days.
I think there is now a mix out there of slobs who leave behind dunkin donuts cups and diapers etc and also bait and those who are purposely closing their bait containers and wedging them in the rocks for some kid to find who can't buy bait.
Anyway , maybe it should stop now since there are so many people fishing and the containers are not biodegradeable but in fact people have been leaving bait behind for the next guy for far longer than the 54 years i've been alive.
