John access is a problem in some towns . I have a map with all the public access on the shore of CT and other tid bits of info (ie: parking ,toilets and such) . So I access the shore through the public access . I fish mostly at night thats when I had that hassle . Some of the cops dont want to hear about it, at night someone complains they dont want to have the hassle .They figure its easier to kick out the out of town fisherman . Its the beachfront home owning yuppies that complain . I make very lttle noise , I dont drink or leave a mess . Most people are probably unaware of my presents at night .even the state parks you need a permit for night fishing that you have to pick-up by 6pm the night you want to fish .I have only been hassled about a dozen times in the 20+ years ive been fishing. Parking is a bigger problem with little or no on street parking , it may be a tad bit easier here than in RI . I do alot of RI , the cape and the ditch during the season more than in CT . you kinda get used to it and it is getting better just at a snails pace .

i guess it comes down to the few that have ruined it for eveyone else . Plus there is too many people that see a stranger at night and automatically you must be up to no good .
