Any additional movement on this. There really is something wonderful about being on Block Island after memorial day. Maybe an early September trip?

I am in the process of making another stupid decision. My CEO from 3 companies ago has come after me to head up National sales for a start-up software company. I will take the lead on this tourney if I turn him down. If I accept, I'm out as I will be back in the air 4 days a week.
Just have to decide if I have "one more rodeo in me".

Decision in the next 72 hours.

Typically, my last striper of my Cape season is the first week of November. Sometimes as late as double digits November. Almost never as late as my birthday, the 16th. So, as a season extender, I start talking daily with my NJ shore based brother, and making a couple of road trips.

All of this is a prelude to suggest that a bitter end of season Block trip the first or second weekend November as a season extender, with some mutual shared misery and effort may have some appeal. It would be for me, and maybe also for Mr. Curmudgen Numbskull Christman as well.

Guys, I'm not accepting the job opportunity that I have been offered but I'll be too busy to run a trip.
We're gonna go South for the Winter so I need to button up a lot of stuff around the farm. We're leaving for South Carolina right after Thanksgiving and not back until March. With the blood clot issue Jeanne had this past March I'm getting her away from the snow and ice. We have family in Charleston so we're headed South
I might be able to join a weekend trip in early November but that's even iffy.

Apparently it was Eben. She's coming off the blood thinner 30 days from today. Docs can't find any reason that it happened.

We'll have plenty of room. Rented a 4 bed, 3 bath house 1 block from the beach.

OK - if some of you really want to do this someone has to be take charge. I just contacted Samantha at the Neptune House (where I stay) and she said they have plenty of units available for the week of October 29 - November 5th. Two bedroom units have a queen, 2 twins, and couch and could sleep 4-5. Small kitchen, two showers. Her words to me: Have them call me directly. Should have plenty of room that week. I'll be in the office all day Wednesday and Friday!

unfortunately I am out of town the weekend before until Tuesday late, unfortunately only if I don't quit my day job to fish all this fall.

Derby plans seem to be blowing up due to work. If I pick a date for a long Block weekend in October will they come?

I am out of this... and the Derby as well. Began demo for kitchen renovation at my house and we have a few framing "deficiencies" that were not in the budget... (for those that understand this stuff; cut jack rafters with exposed beams that are not tied in nor do they even reach the top plate....)

Maybe post up some date windows and get opinions. Then decide when to go; and get payments up front from people. I love fishing out there.

I may be in. Plan as of now is to be out there the first week of October. Getting a septic installed and a well around the same period so things are dicey.

I am out - summer of lousy work schedule strikes again

Taking wife to vascular surgeon for ultra sound on her leg today. Depending on how that goes, I may be in.

Thanks Chris. Yes, we're good. Blood clot has completely dissolved and she has normal flow in her leg. Still on the blood thinner for awhile but it's all good.

I'm in for the Block!!!

The bite in late Sept or early to mid October hasn't been gangbusters but at least you have some resident bass and the possibility of very good FA action from shore. It may be a little more expensive to go earlier but you'll have more options. Just something to think about.

DZ you are rite on the money with that info. If you want to catch some fish the first week of October would be the key depending on surf and water quality of course. No way of telling what that will be, but it is the best shot on keeping your interest up for an allnighter. I am in if it is around that time. Last week of sept would be better I think?

I'm always down to fish. Tournament style or not. Let's get the details and start prepping for this thing.

I may be in big trouble with my wife and my boss for this, but let's commit on dates for Thursday 06OCT16 (or Friday if you prefer) through Sunday 09OCT16 (or maybe Monday morning return) and see how this goes.

Headhunter

09-15-2016 11:56 AM

I can not commit to anything beyond oct 3'd. I will be fishing out there the end of the last week of sept thru oct 3. Just too much opportunity on the mainland the first 2 weeks of oct.

Rob Rockcrawler

09-17-2016 08:00 PM

Looks like im in. Buddies just booked for the first week of October. I may have to miss aday or so but plan on being out there on the 4t at the latest. Hoping the earlier time of year will be better for the fishing. Always go out a month later, and as DZ said the last 6-8 years have been tough. 7 years ago we had a banner trip, downhill since.

Nebe	09-17-2016 09:13 PM

The "rust tides" might push the bass out of Narragansett bay, and it could help the block have a great fall. Maybe....

Catch rate although better than recent years still lacking in consistency and size. Seal presence increases every year - saw lots of them during daylight.

Sounds like what I experienced the 2 weeks I was out there before you guys.
