New England Boating: Block Island, RI

Tom and Parker visit Block Island, Rhode Island. Roughly nine miles from Point Judith and 23 miles east of Montauk is a nine-by-three-mile pile of sand and rock that seems to exert a magnetic pull on striped bass—and those who pursue them. The place is Block Island, and it’s legendary for producing some of the biggest bass in the world, for boat fishermen and surfcasters alike. Like its sister islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, “The Block” is a glacial moraine, a remnant of the last ice age. When the glacier that once covered New England retreated some 10,000 years ago, it created Block Island and the surrounding underwater landscape of ledges, rock outcroppings, boulder fields and steep drop-offs.
