A little story about our trip to the porkchop.

DZ

Great story and photos. I regret not making it to the block this year. It was the first year I've missed in a while...

Wonderful account of your trip to the Block, Dennis. I should be so eloquent. My partner and I spent a few days at the end of October on island, and we worked awfully hard for the few fish we caught as well.

I always enjoy when someone writes about BI. Great documentation DZ.

Great re-cap of your trip. Funny, this was the first year i have ran into some turkeys out there. I also got my left front tire pecked at for a few minutes. The hens just watched the tom go after me, so did the BI version on the UPS guy, he was cracking up. It was all fun and games until i tried to snap a picture with my phone, as soon as my hand cleared the window he jumped right up at me.

Great Recap Dennis, I enjoyed reading it even tho I lived it

As always thanks for having me on the trip

great reading the recap of your trip Dennis....

Nice read DZ... thanks for sharing...

I wonder if the bite picked up after you left?

dammmm .. can't open the file . It was a great time anyway despite lack of fish ... "Curb",,, can some one copy and paste ?

Block is a humbling place. It can all change in just one cast though....

For sure not like in the 80's and early 90's. Nice article and pic's.

Great lunch time read! Sounds like a good trip nonetheless.

No it didn't. I got on Island Tuesday morning and just got home. Fished my A$$ off for 2 1/2 days. 1 Blue about 10# and last night finally got 1 bass around 15-16#. Fished all the regualr spots and some not so regular. Island is really dead right now but big squid started showing Tuesday night in Old Harbor so there could be a push coming.

As usual, well done Dennis. You are a master of the keyboard.

Always enjoy reading Dennis's stories.

A friend of mine was out there in September and had very little luck. One of his least productive trips, he said.

nice read DZ, nice to see the block wasnt on fire. same outcome for us when we went. great times with good friends makes all the difference in the world though

help

DZ, great story. You are correct in saying success can't always be measured in fish caught but in the company of good friends.

Nice write-up Dennis.
The only thing I'm successful at out there is making pizza and espresso !!

Nice write up Dennis! I fished block for the first time earlier this year with limited success but had an awesome time even with the slow fishing.

Block is a humbling place.
You can say that again .. I've yet to get into easy fish out there . Every Fish I've caught is well earned .. well ,, this time I didn't get any ..

I know the feeling...This fall was tough out there... I spent quite a bit of time out there and had some nice fish but spent many many hours trying...

nice write up DZ, it was great meeting you guys

Nice read as always DZ.
