Obviously, Joe you failed to notice the Craftymobile the last time I stopped by - undoubtedly one of the sharpest looking fish-wagons in RI...

Besides, that G55 has probably been in a repo lot since last summer - with any luck some of the shpaccones and poseurs are gonna get flushed off the Island as the economy shakes out the chaff...

To tell ya the truth, I knew the Island was swirling around the drain a long time ago when I saw an advertisement for a bunch of over-priced lawn furniture by Martha Stewart called "The Block Island Collection"...

It sure ain't the same place it used to be...socially anyway.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
