It was a bumpy ride coming back from block island today, glad the trip wasn't about 20 minutes longer or it coulda got bad for me. Saw a lot of Gannets all over the place but not diving. Water was rough but clean for the most part.

Everything is better on the rocks.

Not sure if the weather alone was the cause, but according to today's ProJo a 50 foot tug overturned and sank just east of Pt. Judith early last night and the empty barge it was towing was free floating. Four people were rescued from the water by the crew on a fishing boat.

It was a slow grind over there. Managed 3-5 fish a day. Biggest 2 fish were in the 12-15 pound range and were caught yesterday morning before the ferry on eels, not by me. All the fish were real blondies, no dark fish at all. It was a disappointing trip with the fish but just being over there makes for a great trip. I'm heading back in a few weeks for another week. |

Four boats up on sand or rocks. Another three confirmed turtled or sunk.

We have fished the Block every Nov for a lot of years. Some years we got fish. Others we got skunked. Never any jumbos in the last 20 years. |
