Caution . . . when fishing on a busy beach keep your line high and pole positioned right at the water line and keep your eyes on it at all times. I had 10-12 "tourists" almost walk right into my fishing line and one swimmer who almost got snagged.

Good to see you are getting some time in on the water. Tourists are funny, aren't they. That big rod sticking up out of the sand should be a signal, I would think.
ReplyDeleteyou have to love the tourists that walk into the fishing line booby trap!Don't worry the stripers have to be moving up your way because they have moved out of the Chesapeake Bay for the most part
ReplyDeleteNo stripers downeast yet, looks like they are running a little late this year...
ReplyDeleteMel,
ReplyDeleteI was reading in an article the other day that fishermen should arrive at beaches "early" and "late" in the day so that you don't interfere with the beach crowd . . . what? Aren't we the ones with sharp pointed sticks? ;)
TBD and DDH,
ReplyDeleteHeading out to yet another of Maine's sand beaches this weekend for a little bit of surf casting. Will drop you all a note to see if I get lucky!
