Nothing aggrevates me more than walking my go to spots and then being stopped cold by a rope and a sign saying closed area for nesting birds. Maybe I just don't like being confined as to where I can cast or not. I have feelings for an endangered nesting bird and would never harm any. But if I'm walking the wetline, moving and casting, not bait fishing, nowhere near the dunes, especially at night, then I should be allowed to pass. I get a kick out of seeing the nest checkers driving their 4x4's through the closed areas, fish tailing in the sand, this is OK? I will never contribute to the demise of these birds, but I've seen some nor'easters knock the hell outta those cages, maybe they are not suppose to survive. Some might say I'm heartless or selfesh. What's your take.
