Thanks for all the replies, the access for surf casters in Rhode Island elderly or handicapped is terrible. It's coming to a point when you retire in RI. don't expect any access for elderly. I understand land owners concerns with garbage left in the areas some are ruining it for all. When throwing bait i always collect all left over trash and carry out. Last weekend on the east wall there was plastic bags with bait left on the rocks, drawing rats after dark. This is concerning for serious surf guys. Like Frank said I think that Daignault predicted in one of his books that access would die out before the fishery did, this is happening now. The fish are returning with the big turnout of albies, bonito and weakfish now with little or no access for the surf guy.

Last week just after sunrise, I was walking out back to may car which was parked up on the street. A guy in a truck with Jersey plates was pulled up to the locked gate, standing by his truck looking pissed. As I walk up he shouts in an irritated and demanding tone " WHY IS THIS GATE LOCKED RIGHT NOW?!!!"

I told him he needs to park up on the street and walk... like I was doing... I guess they didnt mention that in the reports he was chasing. tread softly as a visitor... locals have to live with the reprecussions of the circus... report chasers just leave when the bite is over
