Keith, I think you're way off base here. These are unfortunate incidents, I agree, but to draw any connection at all between these incidents and opening day is just absolute nonsense. The area on the Yantic is a TMA (open all year round). I fished it well before opening day, and so did lots of other fisherman. So did opening day make some idiot drive their truck through that person's property? I don't think so. Anytime word gets out that fish have been stocked somewhere, you'll have a bunch of fishermen showing up. It doesn't matter what time of the year it is (april or may). As for the other incident, I don't think you'll ever convince anyone that opening day is to blame. Those people were there because the area was stocked with fish. People are not going to suddenly decide to behave just because there's no opening day.
