There is a reason we've always called that spot "Half Tide Rock".

read the report in the ProJo this AM. Guys were from Mass. I figured they just saw the rocks and said "OH BOY SCUP".

There were three guys with headlamps illuminated out there last night too Dennis. It was rough. I just figured it must be some of the "New Breed" properly attired with expensive reels, boga grips, bungy cords and titanium underwear. A little publicity makes more and more people do dumb things.

Those rescued were identified as: Young Lee, 59, of Cambridge, Sang Woon Lee, 54, of Plymouth, Gaupsou Kang, 50, of Easton, and Alex Suh, 62, of Lawrence.

older dudes too... youd think darwinian laws would have claimed them by now.

Nebe,
These guys most likely survived the Vietnam War or the Killing Fields of Cambodia - survivors at the top of the scale.

Funny Ed B!

My cousins are crazy aren't they. I wonder if they tossed the short scup back when they saw the authorities.

I saw them out there one night last year handlining and wearing baseball cleats on a particularly nasty evening....thought it was a little odd....and dangerous....
