Block Island Report
I returned from BI on Saturday after a week and a half of fishing and relaxing. There were a lot of fish around but most of them were small. One night I was into fish for 3 hours straight with a fish on every other cast and I had to stop because my back was killing me. My biggest fish of the week was 29lbs, 43". After that I caught a few 12 lb fish and rest were smaller. Compared to years past I caught more fish but they were much smaller. The island was much more crowded this year than in year's past and I saw many more people fishing but mostly in the highly accessible areas.
As far as closing the SW point, I saw no reason for that. Yes, there was more erosion but it would not warrant closing any areas. One of the highlights of the week was fishing with a bald eagle about 15' from me. It was truly an awesome sight. I will be back for another week in July.
