Just so you guys know. the old timers like Lamar, Guilettone, use to say, "If you fish the East side of Point Jude and say that you never fell down, you are a liar...
the avenues basically cause if you go in you better swim away from shore , if your zoned instead of focused your dead . being battered against the rocks or worse washed into one of the over hangs . your never coming out alive . I wont fish here .some times there are knuckleheads there .
beavertail is for me a safer place cause I know that its a tough place and I fish it very carefully . when its too rough I wont even try .
any breachway these days when the knuckleheads that dont know how to fish it with others . Some times I would rather watch that fish .
north rip very dangerous due to the rip and drop offs . very inviting tried it 2 weeks ago alone. lets just say I have kids to teach how to fish safely . I must prctice what I preach . really is amazing the distance you can walk out and remember your route . So I left .
sand bars or even some beaches on the cape in the fog can be very tough to get back to shore . been scared a few times .
I never fished north shore but from what I have heard sounds like something you have to grow into .
ct has to rips that get people every year , I know how to deal with it so I dont worry . penfield is the more dangerous of the 2 due to a suncken section that puts the water too high for shorter people to make it past .
montauk is only for those that know it well when there is a swell . I would rather hit the cove or the rocks before the wall .
I play it safe as I can . I have done enough stupid crap in my life and I am still here . The law of averages are against me at this mild late stage of my life . If you fish these places be safe and think if you are hsitant pay attention to your gut .
