asked to leave

[Stewie]

I remember years ago up at Plum Island signs were posted that fishing was prohibited when lifeguards were on duty. One young lifeguard told us we would have to stop fishing, but quickly said "nevermind" when he looked up and down the beach and realized that besides him, everyone on the beach was wearing waders.

There was a state beach where fishing on one night was stopped. Reason given was that there was concern for bathers due to the potential for lost or broken off hooks.

There is no fishing on the public beach between certain hours and it is still left to the discretion of the lifeguards. The town can't afford lifeguards so there are none. LMAO! So a cop would actually have to drive, park and walk down to the beach in his shiny black shoes and ask you to stop but he can't ask you to leave.
Whatever happened to that law that says we have the right to fish below the high water mark as long as we do not cross private property to do it? Also if you pay to park in that lot what difference does it make to them?

If city or town owns or leases the beach or public way you should partition the city or town councilors/selectmen to have a portion of the beach open to fishing. At one time they tried to close what is known as the bolavard from fishing and many people walk this area along the water. No one has ever been hooked or injured from anybody casting. It was never closed to fishing.
