Letter: Simple fun fades away

  • Posted June 5, 2006 at midnight

Editor, Daily News:

There's not much to do for a 20-year-old mother of two kids. However, I love to fish.

My husband has fished the Marco Island bridge since he was 2 years old (up until the hurricane).

So we'd go to the open lots with the kids and have wonderful "fishing-family time."

But now they've changed a few laws that many people, including us, were not aware of. Now, unless there is written permission from the homeowner or lot owner, you cannot fish there.

You pay a $100 fine or go to jail, starting next month.

For those with boats, you cannot be within 300 feet of a bridge or dock.

Sure, we could go to the Naples Pier or Bonita, but what about Marco? The best times I've had have been on Marco.

I wish there were some way to meet in the middle. However, money talks.
