To run a spot burn prank just to make a point you risk a reliable reputation and generally the reputation of striped-bass.com as a website.

The ramifications of running a spot burn prank are many. I know if Block Island was mentioned instead of the Vineyard and I happened to be on Block at the time I would have been just a little perturbed if buggies of guys showed up to crowd the island based on some joke. If the cape or Cutty had been mentioned some of the regulars there would have been in a tizzy. I’m sure some of the regulars on the Vineyard didn’t think it was funny. So a spot burn prank has impacts beyond sending report chasers on a wild goose chase. Just something to think about.

Thats why I mentioned the Vineyard. Nobody is left there and the fishing has been sucky....ero the meat of the joke! Its true if people were paying attention there would be no confusion...people only see what they want to see!

BTW.....Vineyard was not good this am!!!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
