Just think - if you didn't get The Fisherman mag back in 1982 you would have missed this:
Excerpt from "The Snowstorm Blitz"
November 25, 1982, Top of the Dock, Narragansett, RI – "The big news this week comes from Block Island. The guys in boats and those on the beach were really into impressive numbers of bass last week. An average night for the regulars was 6-7 fish in the high 30s and low 40s. Andy Lemar had fish of 51, 50.5, 45, 41, 39, and 36. These were on eels and plugs."
Wakefield Arms, RI – "Block Island has been turning out some decent bass…. one customer took eight fish last Wednesday for a total of 300 pounds; all on Rebels."
Elmwood Sport Shop, RI – "The guys at Block Island finally got into some heavy action last week. A couple of regulars reported a pair of fish over 50 and another 15 all better than 30 pounds."
December 9, 1982, Block Island – "The bass run made it into December. Joe Fallon said there hasn't been many fish but those taken were all good ones. Plenty of straightened hooks and lost fish. Rebels are tops. Tops all week was Steve Smith's 57.8 pounder".
Wakefield Arms, RI – "Sharp shooters still taking bass at Block. Rumor has it that some anglers had upwards of 1200 pounds in a single night. Every fish mentioned was in the 30s and 40s."
December 16, 1982, Block Island – "Bass fishermen hooked and lost a tremendous number of fish this past week. There was action every night until the storm hit. All were big fish. Nothing but 30s and 40s and all on Rebels. Jon Grant had 5 keepers last week, the largest a 46. Steve Smith took a like number including a 46 and a 58."
