Angry oil spill

Yesterday while bottom fishing I had the radio on...the CG had an announcement that there was a report of an oil slick, 2 miles long and 2-3 feet THICK, approx 65 miles S of RI.

Anyone else hear about this?

Man, I hope it's not crude - we had a spill here after a collision off Brenton Reef and you can still see the oil on the rocks all over the southern end of the Island -

And that was 40 years ago .......

Hmmmm...lessee...the tanker was the PW Thirtle if memory serves...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
