In the year 2000 , I don't think a woman should be alone out there. Sad but true I fear. If that couch potato won't go with you , its time to find a new husband Jenn. Don't look at the singles bars though. Try the RISAA (RI Saltwater Anglers association) meetings!
Actually , there are places and times where there are always a crowd of fisherman. You'd be safe with a crowd of fisherman , even if nobody really new you.
