Congrats on the 4th place... I saw the look of disappointment on some of your faces when they announced it, and I would be too with the bass scores you guys had... the blues were THICK at watch hill saturday morning...I fished for Hartford Surf and was at the breakfast... Could not find a single bass in spots that I have found 20#+ fish in the last 4 weekends... tourny comes, nothing... thats how it goes. I'm one of the only younger guys in the club that will fish double all nighters no matter what in search of bass, and that lowers our chances big time... almost got washed off the rocks at watch hill light at 4am this morning! Again, congrats on 4th... wish you guys got into the 3 blues you needed....

Was a great weekend even if the weather and bluefish didn't cooperate. Nice meeting some of you guys at the cookout.

Tried fishing Saturday night in some crazy conditions until around 1 when the lightning started but only got a few small bass. Got up at 4 and the winds had died so hit the beach but couldn't find the fish. Ran into Carl after calling it quits just before 8, thought about going to the breakfast but needed sleep...

Really can't believe I didn't get one stinking bluefish they have been harassing me all year and now nothing...

IP - I was a little disappointed with myself for not being more aggressive on the bluefish but oh well

- 0Next time, introduce yourself!

JLH - good meeting you Saturday

. Interesting but I believe all of our team basses came from within 1/2 mile of each other even though we were all fishing seperately.

Yeah but we didn't find any over 5 lbs. We had a dozen or so alone in the hr right before the cookout but didn't think those would help and I wasn't driving to Snug Harbor for that.

I thought we would need at least 10 pound blues and probably released a have a dozen 7-8 pounders saturday morning. I did weigh in a 23 and change pound bass for SB hopefully that got counted in out total as well.

Dan - nice fish - the bass certainly counted

(could have used the blues too

) - I think I was fishing withing headlight sight of you Friday night

Tynan - nice shots. Starfish modeling on the beach don't hurt either...

Here are a few:

From the pictures most likely, that and I did cover spots from Narragansett to Westerly so there's a good chance I was close to alot of people at some point. It was a nice excuse to back to my old stomping grounds.
