Last real massive sand eel bite at block i remember was August 2007
... There may have been others I missed, but august 2007 was just ridiculous
the number of fish I caught. I was making 2-3 trips per week

I gotta check my logs but I’m 99% sure it was 07 that I slayed fish for a week out there in either late October or November. Sand eels on the beach most nights. Needle fish and red gills. Most fish were right about keeper size and fat along with a handful of 20lbers. Me and my buddies are always talking about that week. The last late season really successful trip we had.

I'd fish the downside thru the "bump".

I’ve been trying, but to no avail. But as Back Beach so eloquently puts it, “You gotta take your skunkings like man.” I’ve been taking the skunk all week looking for that lone slob

Oh I post up there then wait for a wounded deer to appear

Today on Block - purple flag is flying:
What's a surfcaster to do on Block when the gales are blowing 35 from the west? Go casting! Bucktail water produced enough bass to allow us both the privilege of having ice cream and Captain's Daughter (the beer) ;) tonight our last night on island. Extreme weather on this island often brings surprises - this time I was surprised that I could see this enormous water life form swimming right toward us on the jetty. At first I thought it was a huge seal but soon it was obvious it wasn't as it was porpoising every few seconds and had a back fin - then I thought shark and jumped back off my rock as it came crashing into the breakwall headfirst right at my feet! It was approximately 6 -8 feet long and maybe 300-400 pounds as it took a pounding in the rocks. It's blunt nose was all red and I wondered if it was blood. I wallowed there for about a minute before another wave took it back out after getting pounded. Not long enough to get my camera buried in my jacket. Very sad to see something that large obviously is distress and disoriented. We're not marine biologists and were wondering what this was - it had a rounded nose and head so it wasn't a typical flipper porpoise - maybe a small whale of some type. Either way just another amazing moment on an island that has provided so many to me over the years.

The ocean always seems to show us something new, and anything is possible... Thats what both fascinates me and terrifies me about it at the same time, and keeps me coming back.

Great post Dennis.

Sounds like a pilot whale, Dennis.

It’s not After thanksgiving but a pic popped up on my Facebook from 4 years ago with a 20lber with a green needle in its lip from block island. Last night driving home on the pike in that crappy weather I couldn’t help but think about fishing block island at that time snow at all
