Saturday, Oct. 16 is the date for this year’s National Fossil Day celebration.
From the Oct. 1981 editions of the Gazette:
This was the week the bass derby came alive.
First, it was the Monday Night Massacre. The bass came in for a Columbus Day picnic and a few of the derby’s hard-core fishermen, along with some lucky not-so-hard-core anglers, had all they could do to haul the big bass away.
Somewhere on the South Shore — the anglers know where — a school of big stripers hit the bait from dawn till dusk. Calls went around the Island: There would be a show at derby headquarters. Curtain time, 8 p.m.
