Well, about 7 or 8 years ago (Nebe will remember the night) I was fishing the incoming at 0 dark 30 at the Weakapaug Breachway. Nebe was about 10 miles away in Narragansett. There was an absolutely breathtaking Northern Lights display. Reds, greens, whites , light blues. Went on for a couple of hours. The fishing was wild. 1/2 hour after the Aurora started we started slamming big fish. 20 to 40 pound bass for about an hour.
I remember I spoke to Eben the next day and he commented on the display. I might be mistaken but I think this was one of the nights when he would take his life in his hands and crawl all the way to the end of the East Wall. I think he hooked and lost a moose right at the end of the Wall.

IF WHEN THE Sunrise in the east
IS DIRECTLY OPPOSITE........
on the other side of the EARTH
as.......
a Moon setting (IN THE WEST)
at the same time (approximately)
where both are simultaneously visible
............
if that has the same effect on the magnetosphere
as does a corona discharge....

BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE.......
that the fishing "TURNS ON" like unbelievable
for like 30-45 minutes

About that long ago I witnessed it on the cape the third week of September. A few years before that it was November out at Block.

Didn't see anything last night through the haze at 11.
