I got blown off the wall TWICE!!! One night I mistimed a wave when crossing a low section in the wall. Another, I was up on a rock that was not even CLOSE to getting splashed as i just didn't want to deal with it that night. Out of nowhere BANG! I was over the wall in the back side swimming in a tidal pool.
At the time (both) I laughed about it. Now i think back... things could have gone horribly wrong. |
Joe Fig .is that a [FREE} sign on your boat ????????????????????????????????
Also you,ll be getting a bill ..got washing & cleaning 11 times ><<>:huh: |
This sea is still building. Went out last evening for a short while for the last of the flood tide - really scary. Every once and a while a huge set twice the size of normal would come in. After 40 years of casting I've learned to leave before dark - big waves when you can't see them coming can kill you. Public service announcement - be EXTRA cautious for the next few days. Unlike normal conditions when you can watch a spot for 10 minutes to see what to expect - these waves are UNPREDICTABLE. I highly recommend staying away from the open surf areas - if you still want to fish duck into the salt ponds or well inside Narragansett Bay/Sakonnet River. Maybe the big ditch.

I think it was a few guys in sneakers fishing for albies and maybe a couple tourists.... My friend who surfs was in the area when it happened. |
We took the kids to Blue Shutters Beach in Charlestown yesterday, and they were not allowed to go in past their knees. I could not believe what I was seeing. Walls of water. Everything would be totally normal for 15 minutes, and then a set of 3 waves would come in that were enormous.
The sea was angry that day (yesterday), my friends. Like an old man sending back soup at a deli. |
