Have never seen that many people fishing there before, even when RIMS was in its heyday. And there were a dozen boats fishing along the shoreline as well. Many more offshore from Weekapaug point to the Weekapaug breachway. That's a lot more rec pressure than "normal". Not sure what the draw was, though there were fish and bait available. One fly-fisherman remarked he caught 5 mackerel and two stripers on the beach.
Surf club challenge (tournament) was happening.
