Just a little off topic
So would you start at the top and work down or at the bottom and up?

Its nuts walking them,,,,lol,,, I only did the stairs once this year,,,

It was flat calm until Sat. Then the wind picked up and the fish were few and far between,,,,

nice pictures

Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

Nice photos. I miss it already. Was a challenge this year although I always manage my share of fish - pattern seemed like the more snotty the wind the better the bite. Did drop one heartbreak hookup on my last night. Don't get many chances at them and I screwed it up. Have a little story I'm working on entitled "The Take" based on that event. I'm sure some of you have a good idea what the title means. I'll post it sometime in December.

I've always said "every plug has a story" so here is a pic of a destroyed Scud Needle I found on a black night resting in some sand at the waters edge. Just when I think my eyesight is going I find a sand colored plug on the darkest night while my necklight is off. I swear I can pickout a needle silouette at a 100 yards. Anyway this plug has no paint, a pulled barrel swivel, and the ass end broke off completely. I bet you this plug's last swim was very interesting...

DZ, I found this under similar circumstances...

When we went fishing it was kinda slow,this guy did better than us:hee:

A blast over there. THANKS AGAIN Dennis!

more.....

I like the sign on the road to the CG station- "Bad Dog.. Good Shot.. Better Not"

I love that island.

Have some friends that owned a house there on the sw corner..walk across the street an go fish..they had an old station wagon they hand painted pink and then painted a pig's face on the hood...everyone around knew that car....that's where I met grampa with his bic pen needlefish...in white.

.. Would be nuts building those stairs ..

Not as nuts as walkin em' Tagga, after a night of fishin. :doh: :D

Those stairs arn't that bad, my Daughter bet me I couldn't walk up them backwards, I did it backwards no problem

If I remember correctly there are 166 steps

i did not know BI had that kind of an elevation. :shocked:

Wish the fishing had been better, and warmer...
but always fun.

DZ, saw the scud at the meeting. very cool find.
A good memory for what they can do to gear.... and a testament to Mark's plugs!

Great Pics guys. good to see you in the ferry line. Mayvbe next year we'll have fish stories to swap!

I've got to get over there some time....never been. Looks awesome.

I had a quad bypass in on May 30, 2003. I walked those steps in full surf gear including Korkers in Nov 2003. Piece of cake!

Impressive. Should try to carry your Korkers. The stairs are getting destroyed with korker marks...

Errosion is the real threat to the stairs and not korkers.

Flew in low right over SW point Friday afternoon. It was crystal clear and the view was amazing...

Not sure if this was posted here, but this is from my annual kayak fishing trip to Block.You can just make out one vehicle surfcasting at North rip.

Block Island, RI.

Just a little off topic

I have never seen the stairs in person, but after looking at the picture a bit.... if you could establish a good set of footings, you would have a 50/50 chance of doing it from the top down, a section at a time. But one set of weak footings or piers and the whole thing would shift...down. While the very bottom flight shouldn't be carrying the weight of all the other flights, (each flight should have its own supporting footings) I would rather build up, knowing what's underneath me (and above me) isn't going to move. Be a beotch to get the stock delivered though.....


And I'm sure #^&#^&#^&#^& would disagree with everything I have said here....:hihi:

luckily, they're in better shape than the stairs on cutty
