Sad article about the Party Boat industry

[RATS]

I am going to add a comment to the kids interested in fishing. Homework and such,, it is keeping kids in the house and at school more.
Consider this factor, how much of the expanding 'Private Property" along lakes, rivers, etc impacts this also. I have rivers and lakes all around me withing walking distance, yet I have to get in a car and drive past them because somehow someone owns a 3 yard stretch of land from the road to the river FOR over 10 miles! And then above that the land is owned by a private club that is always full of people from several states away.
I remember living on a lake and walking around the entire lake fishing on peoples docks and yards without a complaint, now you will get the cops called on you or shot. I live near the Delaware Water Gap and on the NJ side there is nothing but state open land, HOWEVER somehow at the top of the mountain is a large lake that is private property off limits.
UGH!
