Last year I had 2 instances of the willies while fishing down the east end.
1) One night I kept hearing a scratching noise coming from the jetty.
after every cast I'd hear this noise ounding like someone with korkers on walking on the rocks behind me. After a while it just got to me, so I stopped fishing, turned towards the rocks (no surf to watch out for) and listened. When I heard where it was coming from, I aimed my headlamp over and saw a raccoon crawling around the rocks, looking for shellfish. I had a laugh at that one.
2) Later last year during my final fall days, while fishing a full moon easterly flow I thought I saw what looked like a good sized dorsal fin cruising out towards Cape Cod Bay. This was after the reports of sharks at the west end earlier that same week. Needless to say, I'm standing waist deep in the canal, at night, with no dry ground to retreat to within 50 feet (unless climbing slime covered rocks qualifies).
They were certainly weird occurances, but at least the fish were cooperative.
