TattooBob - Sorry for the rant! As an avid surfcaster I guess I need to work harder to be tolerant and supportive of everyone's right to beach access, whether they support mine or not.
As I said, I found many volunteers out there. What's more, the folks I encountered who were actually helping out were friendly and looked to be enjoying it almost like a normal part of their "day at the beach". I doubt much if any of the trash this time of year came from beachgoers, most likely washed out from the Merrimack or off a boat. Wish I could find the guy who likes orange juice in a peculiarly shaped little plastic bottle, I must have picked up a hundred of them all along the beach.
Anyway, you got the word out Bob, and many thanks to you and the MBBA for that. I hope the Refuge staff appreciated the effort everyone put in, maybe they should permit the public in general, and the fishing community in particular even more opportunities to show we can and do help out and hold up our end.
GoneFishin - Wind made it difficult, but I did try and cast a few near the rocks, and I thought they looked pretty good. A father with his two kids came over and asked some questions about what I was fishing for, and indicated he wanted to get his family into the surf fishing act this summer, so I pointed him in the direction of Kay's for help gearing up.
Stopped at another spot on the way back up the Merrimack, got a lot of test casts in, took a lot of notes, I think I have a couple of winners but still need some more tuning and testing.
The Spring run is almost here!!!!
