Wow! There's not a single shore fisherman in the free world that knows how to behave or clean up after themselves.
This is true in West Haven. They are pigs.
"Perhaps you should have notified the authorities about the individuals that you had the problems with insted of advocating closing the area to all shore fishermen."
Perhaps you should read the entire thread and look at the pictures and you will see that this is an ongoing problem. The authorities have been notified on several occasions to no avail. The CT DEP I'm sure is aware of it. This is their site is it not? And yes I do advocate closing this area to all shore fisherman. The few will have to suffer for the many. Also perhaps you should visit the area on a weekend to give yourself a better perspective so that you may comment in a knowledgeable manner seeing as how you are an advocate for shore fishermen.
