I didn't realize they did any surfcasting in Worcester. Why doesn't SB.com have a Central Mass leg at Lake Quinsigamond?

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Now you know why people around here refer to Bell Rd as Bourne's version of King Richard's Faire 
Spend a summer there and you'll see everything--multiple times.
It's been that way for as long as I can remember. Back in the 60s, when I was a kid, many of the old bread-wagon buggy crew fished there when the beaches were slow, and some of those guys were real hoots. Let's just say that attitudes about drinking in public were a lot different then. |

Yah, Mike, I think at times it does resemble a barroom. Everyone behaVES, BUT the beer companies could film commercials there. |

Actually, the city has a long history of high liners.... Flap can pick it up from here. He's known many of them, I believe. |

I was just messing around. It seems funny to me that there's a surfcasting club in a city over an hour form the nearest surf.
On a side note, my grandfather and uncle used to fish the canal years ago with a group of guys from Worcester. And I remember reading a story by Flaptail in which I think he writes about being a young man driving down to the cape from Worcester to fish. |

You're not even aloud to joke about Worcestor and surfcasting. That's just how it is. Bow down. 
More on topic: There seem to be 100 of of the type of yahoos Swimmer describes at the canal every time I go. That's probably the main reason I don't go there that much. |
