Photo essay: Crazy Al & Friends Visit RI

Crazy Al was in town this weekend with Oznavard and Kadir. It seems that there was some talk of a showdown between Al and Bassmaster, but that never materialized. The “plug assassin” had been given an open invite but just couldn’t venture off sandland. TOO BAD! Slipknot, you missed some HOT action as well…for that matter so did Oznavard…I’ll explain later.

I’ll start the “photo essay” post with a few shots from Friday night off Jamestown and then post the images from Sunday morning at Beavertail and early afternoon at Newport.



We arrived just as the sun was setting over Narragansett. The wind had dropped off finally and it was the calm before the proverbial storm. The water was shimmering with the red highlights of a blazing sunset…it turned out to be a sailor’s warning, not “delight”.

With only an hour to spend fishing – the boys needed their rest for a 2:00 am wake up call for a day of fishing with Captain Gary Corsetti.

The Crazy man banged this nice bluefish on a Storm teaser.




Before we left we managed to catch a fireworks show that was going off across the bay in Newport.


The sun was long gone when I took this image by leaving the shutter open for 20 seconds.


The master plug builder John Haberek aka “The Hab’s Guy” joined us for Sake and little light show of his own.


With his flash light he charged up his squid popper until it glowed in the dark more than the Beavertail Lighthouse!
