There’s an epidemic out there.
Westporters are getting hooked on … hooks.
The other morning, alert “06880” reader Jonathan Greenfield swam at Compo Beach. He got snared by a tangled fishing hook and line.
Scary, right?
Amazingly, that’s not the hook that hooked him. The photo above is another one Jonathan found nearby.
A few days later, equally alert “06880” reader Wendy May sent this:
It’s from a different beach: the small one off Saugatuck Shores.
Whether you’re a swimmer, a beach walker, a dog — or a fisherman: Be careful out there!
