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.

As always thanks for having me on the trip

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

blondterror 11-16-2011 09:19 PM

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

I wonder if the bite picked up after you left?

Tagger 11-17-2011 04:40 AM

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

GattaFish 11-17-2011 09:28 AM

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.

PaulS 11-17-2011 03:14 PM

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.

chefchris401 11-17-2011 06:29 PM

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

Tagger 11-17-2011 08:31 PM

help

pbadad 11-17-2011 10:23 PM

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

fcap60 11-18-2011 06:51 PM

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.

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...

WackinEm 11-19-2011 05:20 PM

Fish_Eye 11-20-2011 01:45 PM
