Hi all!

I just got back from a fishing trip and I thought I would share it with you since this a first for me....ok..here it goes...

So there I am on quite, dark, isolate stretch of beach...and a biggie is starts pulling on my line....but then drops the bait. I leave my tasty clams on bottom for a few more minutes hoping she comes back. Then all of the sudden...BANG!...BANG...POP! Fireworks start blasting in all directions.... The sky looked like a Christmas tree in August. When one of the fires works almost burnt a hole in my waders, I pulled in my lines and move 0.25 miles down the beach.

I can deal with Access Issues, parking restrictions, piping plover, and the save the greenheads fanatics; but now fireworks! Not! Since it's illegal in the state of MA to posses fireworks... "Hello, is this the Police Depart?..." I long story short the fireworks magically stopped 4 min later. Hummm....

It's one thing to ruin someone's fishing. It's another thing to be plain stupid and endanger someone's life on the beach.

I am just curious, has this happened to you? How have did yo deal with it?
