Gee, the "On the Water" fishing report in the Herald says that if you want a chance at catching a world record striper that you need to head to Block Island.
Where will they tell us to go next, 'cause god knows that's all we need is every gung-ho, trigger happy, weekend warrior with delusions of catching a monster fishing the same stretches of water around the same time. Throw in a crapload of inexperienced boat anglers and a weekend of unstable weather and we have a "waterworld" nightmare.
Although the weather may deter some, there will probably be enough wrecklessness to go around.
I know that it's been said before, on a hundred different occaisions, but it still merits saying again: I hope everyone is fully prepared for the weather potential this weekend. I'd hate to hear a horror story on Monday about someone who took an uneccesary risk just for the chance at a record, and ended up paying the ultimate price!
Good luck to all this weekend, and safe seas!
