I had a chance to visit the Weekapaug fire beaches yesterday around noon.
I used to live there and fished there since I was 9 years old. There were at least 50 people fishing the beach from the rocks all the way down to Quonnie (I had binoculars).
Have never seen that many people fishing there before, even when RIMS was in its heyday. And there were a dozen boats fishing along the shoreline as well. Many more offshore from Weekapaug point to the Weekapaug breachway. That's a lot more rec pressure than "normal". Not sure what the draw was, though there were fish and bait available. One fly-fisherman remarked he caught 5 mackerel and two stripers on the beach.
