Can anyone help with the actual rules regarding land based cast netting in the Newport canal system. I've heard that Newport marina may have leased the sea floor, and I understand not to hop onto anyones private pontoon or to go walking through other peoples backyard. However if there is a park at the end of one the the canals, where there is no private yard or pontoon and its not inside the marina. Is it ok to cast net there? Or is there a law against this.?

As long as you don't cross the line of the property fences there is nothing the property owners can do.

It is public land.

They will raise their voices loudly but those are public parks.

I used to net them for prawns for live baits, had several heated discussions with two property owners.
