Block Island Forecast

[Pete_G]

I've seen better...

I'm currently re-assessing my rather minimal beer supplies. I had hoped to be fishing...

I do sense a stranding out there though...

Good luck to all attempting to fish through this. And stay safe.

Its going to be an adventure. Wish my school & work didnt get in the way. It can be crazy there during a storm. Or a crazy ferry ride home. If the fishing sucks though everything will already be spinning once youve tapped into the supplies.

Good luck to you guys out there. I have yet to make a block trip that was either calm or productive. The island has a grasp on my heart for sure. One day I'll conquer her though!

pete , craig and i were going to try and meet up with you at block but seeing i was in eye ball veiw of block on montauks north side and there was no ferry sevice except all the way around to o point didn't make much sense . i would have really been a bummer if i went, as came down with some kind of bug during the night and spent next two tides shivering under the blankets in my camper so it was a no fish weekend for me i might feel good enough for a midnite shot at the moriches inlet though
