Purple Flag Blues - Live from Block Island

The gangs all still here on Block. Fishing has been somewhat a slow pick with a few good nights thrown into the mix. Bass into the mid twenties on needles. 6 inch sand eels in the rockweed. Darter Al, Zeke Redfin, Denny Needlefish, Tagger and Tattoo Bob have all taken a few decent fish. The dreaded purple flag (which means no ferries running) has been up for the past two days and all indications look like Saturday will be the same and we'll be stuck here for an extra day. Were making the best of a windy situation but being on Block during a storm allows one to see just how awesome the seas can be. Gannets diving on bait, bucks chasing does during the midwatch, the wind whistling through the wires. Fishing hard knowing the next cast may be our last.
Soon we'll be back and we'll have vivid memories of casts gone by.
