Mad bikers
Funny scene this AM. After hitting some spots Cape-side ahead of the throngs, I pulled into the lot below Friendly's, waited 10 minutes for a parking spot, and pulled in next to a van whose driver looked vaguely familiar, and after 30 seconds, realized it was Big Dave.
We started gabbing, and one or two pods of fish started breaking in the middle. Next thing you know, about 10 bikers come racing down from the pole 150 area looking like the lead pack at the freakin' Tour de Effin' France
Sort of like watching guys over the Vineyard tearing up East Beach in their trucks chasing schools of bluefish.
We counted 25 guys fishing from pole 175 to the Sag on the Cape side, and no less than 30 bikes parked along the service road between poles 160 and 150 on the mainland side. There were enough vehicles parked at the rink to make it look like the Stanley Cup finals had been moved there. I've never seen Halfway Gate with as many vehicles parked there as I saw this AM. No room at Portagee.
I guess word travels fast. A fifty and a few 40s yesterday, mob scene today.
Oh yeah---I didn't see a single bent rod among those 25 guys opposite us, and not a single fish came back to the parking lot in all the time we were there
I love report chasers.
