Jeff - He's my boss, not MY BOSSS (he gets no royalties
) Besides, it's not a NEW 33 Coastal....
Linesides, I know Swimmer knows that area almost as well as an islander as he almost was an islander. I also knows that he has a high regard for doing things the right and safe way... In addition to all the tide charts, moon phases, and even looking up Eldridge to know what a certain current is going to do at a certain time, other factors that aren't published can have an effect... No service predicts what the storm surge might be like at every particular spot and many have seen the effect of a combination of all these things can happen when they occur at the same time... Just this spring, Clamdigger, working Narragansett Bay for many, many years, saw places of the bay that were uncovered that he's never seen the water completely recede from... Other factors can contribute like storms moving a bar on you and you can be in the same problem.... Maybe as much of a disadvantage on using an even accurate GPS unit to navigate the bars (plus that little error factor)...
WTH am I saying? Our playground can overwhelm even the most competent among us even with the most possible planning. You always hear of a squall building without forecast striking boaters hard, well even the most prepared surfcasters can be brought down by a buildup of seperate events...
But back to the original topic - hey linesides, what do you recommend for average duty rods...
