Block Island Express trip

[lunkertaker]

With all the travel I had planned this year, didn't think I would make it to the Block this year, but then a window of opportunity...

Had a conference in Newport, RI for a week so a plan was hatched...Catch the Ferry, fish all night long, sleep on the beach a few hours, return to the main land on the ferry and attend my conference.

Last weekend it all came together, man it was a long walk to the spot from the ferry carrying my gear

Fished from dusk till dawn and managed 7 stripers from rats (~ 18 in) up to a respectable 34 in fish (2X), 3 cocktail blues, a a few bite-offs. Overall a slow night, but a night on the Block, sleeping on the beach in the morning, and a great memory was worth the ~$50 ferry trip and parking fee.
