Piping Plovers: Sound like bubble wrap.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Sometimes, in the effort to try to do good, they end up making it worse. Some of the fisheries management is the same way.

In my 35+ years driving the beaches, I have never seen a dead, squashed, wounded plover. In that time we've lost Long Point, Wood End, and most of the Back Beach. Those areas alone should be sufficient for plover rookeries. I might be a little slow here, but I'm beginning to think that it's not about plovers at all. It's about keeping us off the beach in vehicles. Starting to feel like the last cowboy here.. Having said that, if not for the CCNS can you imagine what would be left? That's right, nothing but condos! I'm getting real tired of going to beaches that I've gone to all of my 53+ years and hearing some gentrified sack of crap tell me that I'm on a PRIVATE Beach. My answer is always "good, call a cop". Sorry for the rant, but I'm starting to feel pushed around. Write your elected representatives, they're all whores and they will respond to the most pressure.

Plovers close the Beaches only to GET Gobbled up by the Fox, Racoons, Coyotes, and Sea Gulls and who knows what else, From what I heard there are over 3200 pairs and they were happy with 1800 pairs . These Birds are Hunted and are on the Tables in other Countries. With more pairs of these Little Chickens they will up their Bag Limits.  Its the begining of the end on the Beaches ,No more  on the Beach  .......................... I heard they taste like Chicken, Seems Every year the cost of Permits Rise and More Beach is Closed. |
Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

It's a giant waste of time and just another tool for the eco nuts to use to get all vehicles AND fisherman off the beach.

The world is a strange place.......let's keep it that way.

It is not about the Plovers at all... you are right BBJ...as some of you know, I've attended a few hearings and such, regarding beach management over the years.. # of pairs is reached ... they raise the goal, reach that... raise it again... I had a very angry bird society type get in my face after one such meeting at the seashore years ago... at least he was honest... he told me to my face it wasn't about the plover at all... he wants people, yes, he used the word people, not vehicles... off the beach.
They've taken most of it... enjoy it while it lasts.
Talk to some real old folks, if you can find them... they didn't even show on the beaches till sometime in the late fifties.. when the Great Lakes... where they are from, became too hostile for them.....
