Thanks for all the replies, the access for surf casters in Rhode Island elderly or handicapped is terrible. It's coming to a point when you retire in RI. don't expect any access for elderly. I understand land owners concerns with garbage left in the areas some are ruining it for all. When throwing bait i always collect all left over trash and carry out. Last weekend on the east wall there was plastic bags with bait left on the rocks, drawing rats after dark. This is concerning for serious surf guys. Like Frank said I think that Daignault predicted in one of his books that access would die out before the fishery did, this is happening now. The fish are returning with the big turnout of albies, bonito and weakfish now with little or no access for the surf guy.
