P-Town Closures 6/11 - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Seals, Plovers, Gays and Lesbians, rich New Yorkers, it's all the same.

They git thier money and we all knew that the possibility was there, who's the smarter ones?

Get a boat. You don't need a big one. Most people I know with 20 footers plus can't afford to run them themselves and if they do it's infrequently cause of the cash layout at the pump for the gas pimps for both truck and boat. 40 gallon tank in boat and 30 gallon tank in truck leaves you barren of pocket and wallet. How often can you afford to do that?

Ask Karl F. Had him in the skiff today, it was my 3rd day in my boat fishing all day (catching too) and finally I went to half a tank. And it only cost 20.00 bucks to fill it when bone dry.

F-CK the beach, mung is on the way, see you in September.

I miss it, I miss it dearly( the way it was) but you gotta move on and skiffin' it is the way for me.

Reading this thread gives me a bad feeling that these bird wackos are going to win.

It goes something like this: beach gets closed to protect plovers under bogus pretenses - more plovers hatch which is then touted as a success by the enviro crazies - more beach is closed more often the following year - fewer and fewer people buy passes - enviro wackos say traffic is down which has led to a plover revival - passes are further reduced and/or the beach is closed for good.

Next stop, Outer Banks, NC.

Personally, I'm buying a sticker every year for two reasons. One, so they know I want it now and forever, and two, because the fishing is still not bad. (I agree fall '03 was the last "great" fishing, but I've caught plenty of good fish the last few years as well...sometimes 50 yards from some frolicking seals.)

$150 for a Federal permit is a disgrace to start with.

Gateway National Recreation Area in NYC gets $25 for a 4x4 permit. There isn't much beach and the permit really isn't valid until Sept 1, but at least it's only 25 smackers.

FINS (Fire Island National Seashore) has as much driveable beach as the Race. It's been awhile since I got the sticker, but it was still under $50 the last I heard.

FINS bans 4x4 travel between June 15-Sept. 15, but you know that going in, and the way CCNS is going, that might turn out to be true for the Race anyway.
