Narr Pier Sportfishin and Narr Surfcasters will be meeting in the AM at Maridee B&T on Rte 108 (8:30 to 8:45 I believe), and will spread out from there to various areas in the vicinity

Hmmmm - will need to post some pictures later but Newport sent people to ______________ and ____________ ...

Seriously, met up with 8 or so NCSWFC members over at Easton's Point while a substantial part of the club went elsewhere.

I managed to find a new "tool" on the war on thorn bushes, the Great Tall One, most of the time, was able to climb over them to extract trash...

Otherwise, some of the neighbors were impressed by the effort made by a local fishing club. In addition to cleaning up and just doing the right thing, that kind of PR can go a long way. OTH, there was one silver unfox who seemed less than enthused that a bunch of fishers were cleaning up. She kept chatting but would seem to overlook that we were anglers. And her rat puppy bit me - effin' mutt (no damage, thanks to work gloves)

A sampling of items removed today:

Lobsta Pots - lots of lobster pots...
Tires - found a full set plus Temp Tire
Bottles Galore
2 pairs of shoes
numerous sole inserts oke:
construction debri from the billion dollar homes next to the R.O.W.
Oh, the Great Tall One mentioned something about finding a bikini bottom...

Ed - good seeing you, and the rest of those there - DZ I missed seeing you this morning, the extra 30 minutes sleep was worth missing out on the free Tattoo Plugs and Point Jude Lures

Thanks to all that cleaned up today

If you did clean up today (or very recently), please add your name to this list, who you cleaned for, and what general area...

Thanks!

John
