Quick Trip and a Karen 4/12

[jrodda]

I was in Newport for one thing so I made a real quick 30 minute session for spotties.

Here's a reference shot of where I'm fishing for the sake of the story. Frankly not much to burn in this spot but I also implore anyone to bug the Karen in the story.



So at the red line there is a fence that extends from the hill to the mean high tide line. It has a sign that basically says "welcome to this beach, be aware of the mean high tide line, as below it is public and above is private." There's one house on the end of the beach on the right.

So I decided to try that area. Bounced a fluke along the bottom for a about 15 minutes, very slowly walking toward the end. Then a lady came out of the house.

"Excuse me, do you live here in this neighborhood?"

"Nope!"

"You can't be here, it's private."

"I can be here. Everything below the mean high tide line is public access."

"No."

She went back inside, and I made a few more casts, before taking my time walking back behind the aforementioned fence. If I were getting bit, I would have stayed.

Fished a couple hundred yards of sand without a bump but left relatively quick because I wasn't getting bit and I really had to pee. Pretty uninspiring low tide anyway.

It's far from my favorite spot, but every time I fish that area I'll be sure to give that side a few casts. Feel free to do the same! Besides spotties it can produce croakers and rays too.

Karens are everywhere, I can only imagine the story if you were catching fish... Karen makes the News at 6

I've only been Karen accosted a few times. Maybe you're a natural attractant. Lol

I'd fish it just to piss her off.

I'd fish it just to piss her off.

That's the plan! Posting here to get any OC lurkers to do the same.

My coworker says the husband did the same to him.

If you're gonna have the only house up against the public beach, ya ought to be a better steward.

That spot is fished out. At night on weekends it is wall to wall filled with people.
