He might be wondering about the legality of fishing in those areas as well, not just the types of fish that can be caught. I have wondered this sometimes myself, but I would just say stay off private property.

Private property Starts at the high tide line..
I have tubed right up next to back yards while people were BBQing etc.

Pardon me, do you have any gray poupon?? LOL

Ive had conversations with them...

Some will get peeved, and try and intimidate you, but not many if at all..
Be nice to them!!! it isnt worth arguing.. The fish are everywhere....

Yes!!!!!!

Except in High security areas, Military, Terrorist targets etc..
But they are well marked and I dont think there are any at NPH??

Look for the high tide line, it could be a stain on a wall. Does't always mean you have to be in the water.

This pic is below the high tide mark with the wet sand shown.
