I agree with Mike P. That is one of the few places someone with bad legs or other handicap could get relatively easy access.

If it really has closed access to fisherman , we should make life miserable for them. Fisherman should organize. There are many legal ways that 1000 irrate fisherman could make life miserable for MMA. See one drop of oil near one of their boats , call the DEP. Hear one loud cadet after 9PM , call the police. See one piece of rust or anti fouling paint being chipped off into the water , call the EPA! Call your politicians and complain. Call MMA and let them know that you as a fisherman are unhappy and will do all you can to block funding , talk against fund raisers , sway public opinion I find it absolutely rediculous that a place whose purpose is to train future seamen would ever limit fishing access.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. While all the fishermen's efforts go into keeper limits and commercial quotas , etc , Our access is slowly being taken away. There will come a time in our lifetime when there will be plenty of Bass and no shore access to get to them.
