There is alot of stuff out there to vandalize, so i can see why they are closing it. And I dont think politics has anything to play in this matter, its money pure and simple, I commented a long time ago when this recession mess started, things are not going to be pretty, so far tho seems like we are weathering it okay. At least IMO

I don't know if it's already been said, but daylight savings time ends at the end of this month.  It will be a lot lighter out a 7:00am. There's gonna be some good fishing missed there.

 What a sarcastic one sided political response. Ironic that this comes from someone whose screen name is a anarchist. Even more ironic is that you agree with the closings. Don't you see the big picture? When I was young you could fish anywhere along the road, but now every place is fenced off or closed or controlled. I am not a conspiracy wacko but..... if it looks and smells like a dead fish....it must be a dead fish.

It's not just there.  Feds to fishermen, "We don't need you".

Your right, I shouldn't have posted that. I deleted it.

Sorry to hear about the restrictions on your stomping grounds.  Better live it while you can, who knows what's coming next.

Nice tho see some bigger names in this.  It is nationwide.
Closures and regulation only work to the extent that people will abide by them.

(Oh and nice to see another name from the past pop up! I'd say welcome back, but I don't know if you ever left. )
