welcome to S-B!
Yeh, I heard - too late - that the LI Derby was running again. A few years ago, they started the derby as a test to see if the area would get trashed again. They let the club know (Mass Striped Bass Assoc) and a few others and made a small article in the herald I think. But I don't know what happened this year.
I guess the other "residents" of the island get tweaked when a lot of people are fishing it.
I think all of the other islands except for Thomson's are considered City Park. Long Island is not part of that but it is public land. I think but I'm not positive, that there is a Mental Health center on the Island as well as a Firefighter training place. They are also probably feargull that the bridge is going to collaspe on someone. I don't know if you've ever been under it by boat but it's in pretty rough shape...
BTW - this is a free site, unless you're from West Roxbury, then you must donate funds to East Dedham Party Association
