That report doesn't sound that hot. The next 2 nights will not be perfect contiions. It could be a tough night or two. Weatherman is calling for NW 10-15, no kidding! (watch-out) Friday night is looking worse then sat night. If your only going for one night it is sort of a crap shoot anyway...you have to go when you can go.
Bring a few eels for when the wind is at your back.

Dave, your 2.5 hours away and your driving up for one night and then your driving back the next day? Your dedicated. Don't fall asleep at the wheel. I hope you catch a 50. Where are you CT, NY?

Dave is actually in Jersey (I know, taking a &^#$($ Joisey guy to Block lasma: ) but opportunity presented itself.

I'm going to meet him over there as I'll walk on the 11am ferry with my gear for fishing Saturday night...

Dress warm, warm, warm, bring plenty O batteries for the light, gloves and hand warmers... Oh, & sandwhiches... The only thing worse than freezin' one's a$$ off stuck on an island is being hungry, freezin' one's a$$ off stuck on an island...

Any other takes

Swing by "The Beachhead" and get your thermos filled with some Block Island chowda...(clear broth)..This is almost worth the trip in itself

I gotta go to an anniversary party tomorrow(in-laws ) so the Block will have to wait till next weekend or perhaps Wednesday. I was loading the truck when the wife asked where I was goin. I told her, then unfortunatley she told me , so things changed really quickly. Sorry John, if I woulda snuck out about an hour sooner we'd a made it .

Can you spell "Divorce Lawyer"!? That's what I would be hearing from my other 1/2 if I tried that one. Sneak out for a few hours, ok, but an overnighter? Man that takes a set brass ones! Keep up the good work!

Probably just as well--it's blowing a "BI" 10-15 NW right now here on the north shore of LI. Which translates into a steady 25 with higher gusts. 41 degrees according to the Weather Bug.

I know where I'd be on MV tonight, tho

"I know where I'd be on MV tonight, tho "

OK tell me. I have been beating a path all around the island and so far the most consistant fishing the last 2 weeks has been on chappy and the fish are all about 15-19 lbs and it is a slow pick at that.

If I had to guess what you are thinking I wouild say squibnocket...but that place (as good as it looks) has been dead slow for nearly 3 weeks. I have not seen one fish taken. Eariler in late sept early oct is was pretty hot for a while. It does look so good though you can't give up on it. The other night while my eel was swimming unmolested thru the bolder field I kept wondering...how can an eel last this long in october in this place?

If you have a hot spot to try...tell me, I will head there tonight. I am in my bathrobe now an it is blowin 28 mph and 38 deg at the moment but it will not take me long to get my long-johns on and slip into my waders. My truck is loaded for bear and ready to go.


I wish they would open great pond....that would draw them in.
The stories I heard of the fishing that occurs when that is open would curl your toes.
