Gooseberry Parking
Got back to the car at 2:30 am to find a $25 ticket for illegal parking. I have fished this spot for 20 years without a problem so I called westport police and spoke with the ticketing officer. He tells me there is a sign to my right that says no parking. I inform him that the sign says no parking in the Turn-around which I clearly was not. He says I need a beach sticker but there are no signs indicating this. He then says Gooseberry is closed to fishing from dawn till dusk and always has been and I am lucky I haven't been ticketed before. Bottom line, he says appeal it and see what happens. I love this spot, treat it well and do not want to lose it. Any ideas on how to proceed. I am not too concerned about my ticket - I will take care of it - I am worried that the next time, signs will be posted and we will lose another great spot. Oh yeah, 2hrs, 9 fish two keepers to 35", all on redgills in front of black swimmers.
