If you get right down to it, it could get you a citation if you did.
It is unlawful to:
Use the area for swimming, camping, operating concessions or for any use other than the launching and recovery of boats and parking of vehicles and boat trailers, except where facilities for a particular use are provided.

You are right, NC law governing boat ramps...But the only problem with the law is that it is seldom enforced but people fishing off boat ramp docks is a problem in many places..I have heard though around Wilmington you just might get a citation for doing that, don't know for sure but I hope its true..

Does this cold weather deter the fish or only the fishermen? I assume the latter because this weather isn't that strange for March, is it?

I understand. If it did, the fish would never know when to come or go.

I never hear about whether photoperiodism is part of what causes these and other fish to migrate. I suspect it does play a direct role in triggering this event.
