Dennis,
I have only fished Block Island a handful of times in my life, but it seems like everytime I get off the ferry, you just get a sense that there is a strong fishing history on the island filled with plenty of great characters and strories. Stories that would definitely fill and make a great read.
I see plenty of cars and SUV's driving around the island with rods and reels sticking out; as well as large numbers of daytrippers who brought their setups over for the day. I doubt more than 10% of those people are fishing beyond the entrance to New Harbor, Old harbor jetty and possibly in and around the bluffs during the daytime.
That being said, most fisherman who are heading to the island to do some serious surfcasting; your target reading audience, are probably fairly aware of some of the general areas you may choose to describe in the book. Describing general fishing conditions and strategies for Area X and Y seems fine in my opinion. Providing details such as fishing the 8th rock on the left side of the entrance to Area X could be problematic. Just my humble opinion.
I hope you continue to make forward progress with this project, I would absolutely love to read something related to Block Island fishing regardless of the final format.
