Just wanted to give you guys a heads up. Went fishing yesterday evening down by the mouth of the Chicopee river, although I managed no fish, it felt good to get out for a bit. A group of about 5 teenagers showed up at around 8pm and asked if I caught anything, I told them not yet. Then I heard one say you got any money, " I replied, nope" then I hear we can do this the easy way or hard way, I said well I didn't bring me wallet, so I guess will have to do it the hard way, I pulled my sw99 out and they ran. I never pointed it at them or anything, I was only letting them know I did have a gun. I don't know if they were serious or trying to be funny, I called the police, but the punks weren't found.
One of the cops said they've had a few robberies on the fish banks, between punks and fisherman and expect it to be worse this year, because crime is on the increase and fisherman are easy prey at night by themselves. I personally never go fishing without carrying, but just wanted to let everyone know to be carefull out there this year. For me this was not a good sign for my first time out, just keep your eyes open out there.
Have a great season and may we all catch new state records!!!
Great job on the message board, great change from masslive!
