Went to Sachuest Pt last night and it's closed for spraying some types of evil vegetaion.

So ok , head down the road ...Ledge road had these pipes in the road at the end. Hmm sure looks like fence posts. No fish by the way.good water.lots o weed - no fish. End up at Kings Park on the harbor and spoke to a few guys..apparently they are closing off Cliff Walk for repairs.Geeze

!!! Couldn't have picked a worse time! They said Ruggles Ave is all fenced off too. Looks like we gotta get stealthy /creative this fall. This "gated community" stuff is bs!

Joe,
Heard the surfer dudes already cut a hole in the fencing. You're not going to keep them away from the big sets that are now rolling in. The Cliff Walk is being refurbished - I'm sure enterprising casters will find a way to get in during the dead of night.

Cut it!

If you're thin you can enter Ruggles without cutting...

I can anyways. Joe you probably can too.

Haven't tried Ledge yet but I have a plan for that that doesn't involve cutting.

I'm more concerned about coming back to the road and finding my truck towed.

Cutting it will just anger the ones who are in charge of installing it then u will really have problems.perhaps if someone talked to them a gate or passage way can be left so surfcasters an fisherman can have access.i think they are more worried about the average tourist then guys who climb rocks in the middle of the night.Of course they will probably just dismmiss ur request.

You're right Pete - Joe should be able to squeeze in - it's his bucket that won't make it

Have to plug Joe!
Parking restrictions are inevidible if we're not discreet about access.

NIB you're right - cutting is going to really create problems - I hope the authorities don't think the fishermen did it. The surfers around here are hardcore - during hurricane swells they give the cops the finger when the police tell them to get out of the water. The cops just drive away.

I'll have absolutely NO problem then!

DZ, Is it to late to turn this around and get some bass stands and "Chums" in key locations as part of the design/construction? Who do we need to talk to?
