Pete's dad made it clear from when I first pitched this idea to them that he would cover the Ferry Cost for the winner. The Lajoie family could not be happier to help.

Pete Lajoie has also spent an incredible amount of his personal time planning this and is as dedicated to making this a TRIP OF A LIFETIME for the winner as I am.

Pete is no stranger to Block. Last year alone we spent over 8 weeks fishing together over there not including Commandos..... There are not many rocks out there that don't have his footprints on them.

Sucessful fishing,,, well here are some of the DOCUMENTED results from Petes fishing last year and this is only a portion since I witnessed his biggest fish of the season they are not on the list.

There are famous fishing spots on the Island and then there are rocks, only reached by deep wading or a short or long swim. You don't need a wetsuit on Block, but as in any place it opens up new possibilities. If you haven't wetsuited before this is a great opportunity to experience it. You can take it as slow as you want, no pressure. With all that said, I have also been on Block for a week and have fished from shore because of the big waves on the south side. If you are concerned about sharks there is the wetsuiter's motto: "You don't have to be the fastest swimmer, you just have to be faster than one other guy in the group! " Good Luck with the bids!!. Both Pete and Tom had some really nice fish last year!!

To potential bidders: The wetsuit swimming method may sound intimidating to some. If you're not comfortable with that type of extreme fishing be advised some good fishing can still be had by more traditional surfcasting. I specialize in catching shallow water stripers and do not swim to any rocks - if this is more your style you'll have great access to some proven areas.

Nice bid RI Bass!

Dennis is absolutely correct,,, and a master at it...... EXCELLENT fishing can be had on Block in waders.... Last year when the surf was 9-10ft we hit some nice fish in waders standing in ankle deep water..... VERY versatile place..... this trip was put together to asccomodate ANY style....
