Rhode Island Surfmaster Andy Lemar
“As a sportsman, Andy was a very lucky man. He lived the kind of surfcaster’s life we dream about, and he was able to share that life with a fabled cast of characters at wonderful places in the best of times. Even in his seventies, he was still very enthusiastic about the sport, still fishing Block Island in the fall. Not everyone would lend someone a helping hand or tell you where you should be looking, but Andy would do just that and always make you feel like you were welcome. He had a rare welcoming manner that left you with the feeling that he wanted you to do well, to share in his love for the sport. In the end, people are not going to remember how many big fish you caught; they’re going to remember what kind of person you were, how you made them feel, and what kind of imprint you left on others. If you were fortunate enough to have known Andy Lemar, count yourself among the lucky.” - Joe Lyons.

Joe Lyons interviewed Andy Lemar in our December 2002 issue. The article has been posted in its entirety at OnTheWater.com.

This Week's Fishing Forecast
December 4, 2008

   What a season – it’s the first week of December, and there are still reports coming in of anglers catching bluefin tuna on Stellwagen Bank! Slammer pollock are another drag-pulling option in the brine, while smaller game such as mackerel, smelt and tautog are hitting close to shore. Freshwater fishing may be your best bet this week, as trout fishing has been hot in the cold-water ponds, lakes and streams.
