If you want to fish Cuttyhunk.... you better start exercising those legs.

The few ruin it for everyone.

Its all private property of the Naushon Island Trust anyhow. They can put up a stockade fence with razorwire on top and trained pitbulls inside if they want.

they were surveying that end last year just for that reason.

on the fence combined with rope & potatoe sacks
filled with big rocks...or heavy garbage bags filled with sand

and totally melt it ....and make it all sag...over night

You don't.

Here's an excerpt from an article about Cuttyhunk.
If you don't get it from this, then I can't help you.

A few years ago, a woman from Cuttyhunk and an off-islander friend were watching a bulldozer at work filling in a marsh. The friend asked her if the landowners had gotten clearance from the local conservation commission. "What conservation commission?" she asked. "The one that administers the Wetlands Protection Act," he said. "What Wetlands Protection Act?" she asked. "The state Wetlands Protection Act," he said, to which she replied, with a slight smile, "What state?"

Which brings it back up on the subject how would you feel about people wandering in your yard day and night acting like you own the place? Wouldn't like it would you? One group screws up, everyone pays for it.

The Elizabeth Islands have stayed pristine because of their owners. They're kept far prettier and cleaner than any park service could ever do.

... they would see anglers as partners in conservation. You think anyone paying to fish Cutty is going to throw trash around and damage the ecosystem? I don't. Seems like a job for RISSA or a similar organization to work out with the Trust. I don't think tough guy talk paints a good picture of us. We need to be partners and allies, not adversaries. JMHO.

If you take a minute and think about it....has the internet awakened a sleepy island?...were once only word of mouth kept the crowd's down to a dull roar...now how many people know about this place because of threads like this one and others that came before it....do you really blame the owners for clamping down when they see as someone said the gangs coming over the hill?? we humans have a way of burning spots all to often and then piss and moan when the owners shut us out....we only have ourselve's to blame.
