Fishing Accidents
Just heard a surf fisherman died in Jamestown and WMVY reported that another surf fisherman was rescued in Westport.

That is very sad  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Problem with the east side of beavertail is that there is deep water that comes up to bedrock. Waves come out of nowhere. Much like the avanues in Narragansett.

You know every year it takes something like this to remind me I gotta wear my korkers at the ditch. Leave the waders in the truck. Rain pants and wet boots are a better option. Sad to see a younger cut short due to something like this.
I have to say more than once I have seen tog fisherman at the tail fishing the front rocks in inappropriate gear for the place.
Hull cove is not as dangerous. Regardless the entire point of Jamestown has spots that are death traps.

Actually, I disagree, there are portions of Hull Cove that are more dangerous than Beavertail for the exact reasons Nebe mentioned, the waves can slide up out of no-where across the low-lying rocks.... |

In alot of cases especially hazard ave, people dont respect the rocks, all to often you see people with crocs or flip flops trying to go on the slippery black rocks..

In 23 years of sailing the biggest waves I ever saw in this area were right out there from a couple miles past BT and they roll in and sometimes don't lay down until almost Ft Adams. All depends on exact tides , wind directions and what roll is coming into the bay from the open ocean. Some days nothing , some days a real death trap.

you have to get pummeled by the sea at least once
then rolled up the beach before you learn respect.
Saddened to hear this.....

Dropping moon tide, strong stiff south west wind. Those were the days I'd sail my laser out to Brenton tower and then scream back to castle hill on a broad reach.

In the 6 footers tacked up? Maybe incoming moon tide - then you'd be screaming 
Hmmm Laser, so much fun |

Out going. When the waves were stacked up, it made it more fun.

No boat, back in the suds.

One night at Hull cove we had been fishing for a while, middle of the night waiting for the tide to turn and we were sitting down well out of waters way. After about 20 minutes of BSing a wave came up and took out our bags and almost my rod/reel. The swell on those slight pitched rocks really can sneak up on you. It really does remind me of the avenues.

I took a dip at Bass Rock a few years ago, thankfully it was during the day. I learned a lot that day and now have a pfd that i hardly ever wear. I dont even have it in the truck this year. I will be taking it with me for now on even though i will rarely wear it. My buddy wears one of the old school water skiing belt floats. He wraps it around his wader belt. It is a little cumbersome but it does the job.

I know a guy who religiously wears an inflatable PFD while surf fishing...
I commented on it:
me: "You wear that thing every time you fish?"
him: "absolutely"
me: "seems a bit uncomfortable and inconvenient"
him: "so does drowning"
