With the recent problems going on at Terrapin Park with litter and waste, should fishing be prohibited there? Would this deter the polluters from going to these beaches?

The litterbugs would just go to another area to fish. However, since Terrapin is secluded to a certain extent, it might be easier to enforce the rules in another area, like The Narrows.

I agree, ban it there since they can't seem to easily enforce the rules. We do live in an area that seems to have a few other places to throw a hook into that are more easily monitored.

Banning fishing B/C you think it will reduce, Pampers, condoms, beer cans, beach fires makes no sense. ALL of the mentioned items are picked up from the RT8 path weekly AND there is no fishing there. If you are trying to reduce "fishing" related trash such as bait bags, mono I could see that one BUT it is the bay and stuff will ALWAYS wash up on shore. If you REALLY want a nature preserve and you Really want to keep it clean,,, ban EVERYONE!

Put me in the "don't care anymore" about fishing there. Banning fishing will do little or nothing in reducing the volume of litter. I would guess if fishing is banned after a couple of years, others will realize that too, but like me they'll fall into the "don't care" since they got rid of those litterbug fishermen.
In the meantime, I occasionally fish from a friend's place on the water now. He hasn't found a diaper, chicken bone, fish entrail or beer can yet on his place from me.

I'd like to know how many of the 12 voters for banning fishing, even fish? Good question. Ban fishing? Will a sign that says "No Fishing" work any better than a sign that says "No alcohol" or "No swimming" or "No open fires" or "No littering" or ..... ?
