I guess I understand their point of view, but it is such a great fishery and such a piece of hand-me-down local history that it will be a shame to no longer be able to sweat and fish out there.
I clearly remember going out there with my Grandpa and Dad as a very small kid (they still say I outfished them). I bring my wife and 12 year-old son out there.
So goes the way of the modern world....

Well since our tax dollars are paying for it shouldnt access be free?
