Publisher’s Note: March 2016

It’s time for the RISAA show! That can only mean the long awaited launch of season 2016 and also that our star writer, Zach Harvey, is more nervous than a deb on prom night about how the folks that really matter to him receive his article this month. While always insightful, often brilliant, Zach really sweats this issue as he knows all of you will be there at the show to give him feedback. Be gentle with him. While it’s not exactly his first time, he really cares about this issue because he cares about all of you. He cares so much that his article is so late that you may get a chance to actually read it before we do as it may have to go directly to the printer in Pennsylvania!Mar 1st, 2016

Chronicles of Stupid–The Splice Is Nice

While I played enough sports in my years before the deck to have genuine misgivings about calling fishing a “sport” in the tradition sense of the word, my experience both behind the reel or the gaff has shown me that there’s room to excel (and fail in epic fashion) wherever the goal is hauling fish from the brine. I’m talking about those rare, sometime astonishing moments when you find yourself punching 100 pounds above your weight class, or, for whatever reasons of mechanical technique or heightened, near-total focus, you suddenly perform light-years beyond your predicted median skill level.

With cod being caught right now off Point Judith and St. Paddy’s Day just around the corner, many Rhodys will be celebrating with some of our fresh-from-the-sea fish & chips and our famous local brews.
