FISHING DERBY TIME! |
It's illegal now right? My father, brother and I watched a guy drown there probably about ten years ago. Not good. I forget what happened but he was running from Paugus to Meredith bay side. There were a bunch of people just watching from Weirs beach. All of a sudden he fell off out by the last pilons. It was funny for the first five seconds until we realized he was really screwed. Obviously his clothes being soaked and the feezing water got to him. Took about 10-15 minutes for a rescue boat to show up. I think they revived him in the ambulance but I heard later that he died at the hospital. Not to put a damper on things I just thought I would share a story of skimming.
I'll be there for the Derby. Bring on the cold and then snow just before derby weekend.
