You know I'm not trying to start no mess or steal this thread but i used to work for a state department and had to personally pick up trash left behind by fisherman and particularly crabbers at public piers and bank fishing areas. It amazes me that people seems to ignore what a privilege it is to be ALLOWED to fish on the bank in places such as the levee. At some point after tens of thousands of dollars have been spent to keep places clean something has to be done, such as shutting down places where ppl are accustomed to fishing.
The comment about you cant fish anywhere without a boat is spot on. Before long nobody will be able to bank fish due to the trashy ppl that don't think about others. However, a flat boat used is about $200. A 40 lbs trolling motor and battery is $200. So for around $400 you can cheaply fish out of a boat everywhere you used to bank fish.
