This will be enough to drive you crazy!!

Today I had free time around 3pm and headed down to Wethersfield Cove area, walked the path down to the river and there was only a few folks around. I tossed out a catfish bait and then started fishing for shad and tossing lures for bass. On my third cast I snagged a sabiki rig, sinker and all. By 5:30 the shoreline was crowded, must of been 20 people no more than a few feet apart.

Now I started hearing one of the guys yelling to others as he brings in three herring on a sabiki and hands them out to his friends. One guy tosses out a whole one while others are chunking them. At one point I counted 7 of them fishing with herring while the main culprit is still landing them. Total disregard, non caring and absolutely no concealment to what they were doing. There were not only guys fishing with these baits but kids, wife's, girlfriends and even grandma was handed a rod while sitting in her folding chair. I had to leave, but yet I see DEEP officers at trout management areas, boat launchs, etc. What's the point??

When I first got there, this was the first this thing I noticed.
