Less bitching and fishing and more PT.

Carry on.

was a time when there were only a few fisherman with lots of open space to fish in..now it's reversed...to many fisherman with very little open space...smart ones already switched over to anything that will float.dingy..yak..tin..tubes....in a few years most good fishing holes will be closed do to many people period....we lost a great spring place down a long dirt road that lead to a small lighthouse..well someone went and broke all the windows in the lighthouse...that was it..road closed...worst thing to come along were those things called suv's.

Most average fishers avoid the place due to the amount of walking effort required to reach the water. Secret spot? No.
Its was about as big a secret as Race Point. Lots of lazy fishermen know the place but don't use it. Kind of like what you mentioned last week with your buddies walking a mile plus to a sandy udl on the cape. Only the hearty souls need apply.

I walked it once I didn't think it was that long...
here in NJ..We are having a grand ole time here in regards to access.One town recently posted both sides of the street "No Parking" due to scup type fisherman dumping bass racks in a homeowners garbage can after it was cut up on his front lawn..Can you imagine..The homeowner pulled in the driveway as the second fish was getting cleaned..For years this very popular location was one of the main locals in the spring run..The whole thing is out of control anymore..
Another spot was a retreat for religous folks.A beautiful overlook with a big lot complete with religous statues an the whole nine yards that was steps from the ocean..I used to barely idle thru there.Well some joker decides he has to take a dump and goes inside the retreat..When confronted by the priest he starts cursing him out..
U can't make this stuff up..

The access was not cut off by the contractor! the Knob that lives on the very end is super commando aggressive about people being down there! I was parked down there waiting for the general cont. to show me around the site a month or so ago and was sitting there on my phone i walked to the other side of the street and was looking at the rocks for 15 seconds(still on the phone and road) And homeboy was on me like stink on a dead eel, no more than 15 seconds! Homeskillet was not happy that i was looking at the water at all! He told me that the area i was in was private and that i needed to stay on the property i was there to look at! He then showed me where the propererty line was and scampered away! more than a few bad thoughts and evil deeds creeped into my head but maturity prevailed and i went back there later in the week from an alternative means of transport and climbed on a nice perch and caught afew small schoolies and was outta there before he knew i was there! I think the main problem is the idiots among us! Nature is not doing her part to elminate the morons that fish --none the less live! Carry out your trash and respect other peoples rights...respect our right to fish!

I have said for years (others too) that 4 wheel drive has ruined beach access... remember, it was the diehards that went out there in 2 wheel drive first.. ( and i've seen horse and buggy pics, from prior to model T and model A days)... so yeah that, on the suv's..

but.. walk on access is definately in peril now too......few bad apples, always seem to spoil the whole barrel...
