Any of you who are ranting should come to Connecticut. Our family went to Wildwood NJ this summer and was amazed by the beach access you enjoy. And free! We saw surf fishermen fishing in some areas. I think it is good that they have bathing only and fishing only areas. You have to pay for beach access in Ct and it's not cheap either. If any one ever feels cheated on NJ beach or fishing access, come to Ct and see for yourself how great you all have it down there.
