Road trip: North Fork LI

[DarkSkies]

Nicely done Dark. Just wanted to add that Orient is a hard place to fish, or at least people should respect the rip there. Every year guys get in trouble out by that lighthouse. They don't realize how fast that tide comes in, and get swept off of there. Wearing waders it can be deadly.

Stripercrazy, you were right. This is something that happened a few weeks ago, reported on another site 7/22:


"My 7 yr old & 4 yr old wanted to go fishin before sunset.

When we got there there were 2 men from jersey in waders & back packs fly fishing with baskets on. My kids were horrified when the flood tide almost washed both guys off! They were only 20 yards away, getting bent in half by 2-3 foot waves. We all yelled get out! & they did. they said it was there first time there.

PLEASE THINK!!! is a ten pound blue or 9 pound bass worth ur life?

Best Wishes & be safe. "

No it isn't, but most of the guys in these situations don't have enough sense to think ahead and of the potential danger. Every year someone gets into trouble or drowns off that point, you would think folks would learn from the misfortunes of others.

This thread has the Orient point video in case anyone who thought about fishing there thinks it's a cake-walk....please take a look at the video first. It is one of the most dangerous places on the East Coast to fish.....and if your ego says it's not....that's probably the kind of thinking that could get you killed.......
Thanks for reading.....
