Understand your rights you and your family have enjoyed for all your years here Mommicked. I have no problem with the fishing in the sounds/ back creeks, etc. I have a boat and fish these waters too, and fish the specks/flounder mostly summer and fall, and catch my fair share too. But to what I have eluded to in the beginning of this discussion is the surf fishing has gone to pot for several years now ( Topsail / Surf City area) and every day during the fall the trawlers are lined up few hundred yards off the coast, turn around when they get to the Surf City pier, one behind the other, and you cannot catch enough mullet in the fall runs to eat. Was not like this few years ago and those boats were not that close in at that time. They raping the coast and you can go to the fish houses at Sneads Ferry and buy all the large mullet you want. Now that is not right, and hope something is done about it.
