welcome to surffishing. trash is always an issue. there are those that are "foreigners" that continually leave trash, bait, and other stuff in the rocks. DEM could go to wickford harbor everyday, arrest people, and they will be back tomorrow trashing it again and keeping mroe undersized fish. there is just not enough DEM people to enforce the laws. then, there are those weekend warriors that just want to go have a beer on a breachway. they leave beer cans, squid boxes, line, and other stuff in the rocks. they could care less. and, there are those of us on these boards that i'm sure have left mono from line that was nicked, of cut up leaders, candy wrappers, etc. many clubs have pickups on given weekends to cleanup selected stops. look into it. the cleaner spots are, the better it is for surffishermen in the long run.
no matter what "class" we tag a fisherman as, we all are labeled fishermen to locals, property owners near the shore, or law enforcement. one bad apple can spoil the bunch.
