Block Island 11/11-11/15 - Looking for Surfcasters!

That certainly is logical, although the one credible report we got was that fishing has been hard for a while. That on it's own, combined with our data point would suggest perhaps a change in the trend.

But there are a lot of variables at play here. How many have been fishing from shore compared to years past and how many have been talking? How many of those have been lying? How have storm patterns or cycles in bait influenced migration? If Sandy didn't strike how many more surfcasters from NY/NJ would have been working the water as well?

I don't think any credible baseline other than anecdotes exists to offer a firm opinion.

That being said, if you head out now and have a great trip does it invalidate everything? Perhaps it does for you

Good stuff Spence.... or is that the bourbon talking. You almost sound like Bryan.

What did you make for dinners? The time you cooked for us was still one of my best gourmet Block meals.

No surprise, I've had to listen to his lectures on New England glacial island formation for the past three days!

Thank you

I offered to cook but Paulie's wife made a massive lasagna that fed us for several days. With a heavy airport breakfast every morning there was little other need for food aside from some snacks.
