We did. Look up Long Branch fishing pier. Was there as a kid. GREEDY DEVELOPERS take every inch of shore time they can.
Look at Sea Bright for what's wrong. The sea wall is state property and land owners across Ocean Avenue ( State Rte 36) from it put up illegal steps and platforms on them and then have the balls to put up no trespassing signs on state property. Then want the state to maintain their stolen beach & sea wall after every storm.
Deal does the same thing to keep people OFF THEIR beaches by blocking land access. Not allowing cars to park on the streets. These people are emboldened by town's that look the other way.
It's local $ that drives this corrupted public access definition and shoreline greed.

Its attractive to fish, we all know that-it always was,
Open it up and it will be twice as attractive to fishermen.
Just too many people would fish it..
That being said, NJ sure could use a few well designed , large, safe, easy access ,public fishing piers in the bay/ocean.. Other states have them, never could understand why NJ doesn't... bob
