I'd never be the one to cast the first stone especially when it comes to boating things. I've had my share of mishaps. Got some calls about this little mishap that occurred today. With the river running low, like stupid low, like 7,450 cfs, it doesn't take much for the water to empty out when the plug
is pulled on the dropping tide. A nine foot tide is great but this place is an underworld of all types of structure and this poor lad found out the hard way. Luckily he wasn't running hard and came to an abrupt stop. I'm hoping for his sake all it will take is the flood tide to get it afloat without anyone getting injured. That's not a light boat and hopefully there will be little damage on it way off it's perch.
Interestingly enough I was at those same rocks at sunup this morning and thought to myself how low the river was and how I need to be extra careful when it's super skinny. This could have happened to me, or you, or any of the keyboard tough guys that will surely have their say with this. Be careful of throwing stones in glass houses.
And what do you know. With the last unit exam yesterday and the final exam next Wednesday I have had some time to hit the river. Well after a solid month and half of getting small windows to fish today I landed my first 2025 striped bass. A month later than normal. It was a fine fish that I enjoyed sight fishing to and feeding. It was a good primer for the Vineyard trip coming up in a few months. That I can't wait for.
