Wasque point, the surrounding beach area and the boardwalk from the parking lot have been severely washed out by Hurricane Irene. We will have to see what happens in the coming weeks before the derby. Please be careful in this area and check it out first during the day at high tide.
Thanks to Bob Clay for this information and the photos he provided.

Albany, NY (August 18, 2011)
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, who is striped bass fishing today, announced he has signed a law to prohibit the taking of striped bass from the Hudson River for commercial purposes, extending a ban that has existed since the 1970s.
"This law benefits both public health and the vibrant recreational fishing industry that is an important part of the local economies along the Hudson River. I thank Senator Grisanti and Assemblyman Abinanti for sponsoring this legislation," Governor Cuomo said.

The curious case of the piping plover
Twenty-five years after Massachusetts started shutting down entire beaches to protect the tiny shorebirds, they’re still struggling to survive. But as one unlikely success story shows, maybe the best way to help them is to stop worrying so much.

Field and Stream had announced late yesterday that they would be following up after reaching Connecticut striper angler Greg Myerson, who, late Thursday while fishing in Long Island Sound, caught a rockfish bigger than the current International Game Fish Association all-time world record.
Myerson's fish is 3 pounds heavier than the current record caught in 1982 by New Jersey's Al McReynolds.
Field and Stream's Joe Cermele finally tracked down Myerson last night, interviewed him, and took more pictures of this remarkable catch.

Janet Messineo was out at the Wasque rip on Saturday the 9th of July and would like to share this report with our audience.
"The tide was HIGHER than I had ever seen before. The entire lower beach boardwalk from the parking lot was submerged in thigh high water. It was hip deep walking down from the parking lot on the lower board walk. This occurred 2 hours AFTER high so one can only imagine what it looked like before that time. By the time I was done fishing the water had subsided. This is very strange since the moon was barely half! The full moon is not until July 15th. Was this caused by the breach? It was the strangest thing walking down the boardwalk up to my thighs in water, kinda creepy. Maybe someone else has an explanation. I do not think I have EVER in 35 years seen that."
