I'm pretty lucky where I fish in Rhody. Public access is fairly abundant and the places that are'nt, I have friends with permission to access private property. I was in Rockport, MA last Sept and driving around I noticed that most of the parking was for town residents only. Also all the public ROW were marked well but there was nowhere to park except for the breakwater. Everyone talks about Rhody with access issues, but to me it's easier for a person not from Rhody to fish in Rhody than someone not from MA going , at least to Gloucester and fishing. As for people who live on the water next to public access, I always say if you buy a house next to the airport you gotta expect a plane to fly by once in awhile.
