Every year in October, while the parks and forests were packed with people who came to see fall foliage scene, there was a throng of people headed to Truman's Beach in New York to see fuchsia sunsets and cast the lines into the Sound. Although it was hardly beach weather, a cold breeze was kicking up a surf on Long Island Sound, anglers were oblivious to it all, locked in combat with bluefish and grinning for ear to ear.
- angler ~ person who fishes with a hook on a line
- seagulls were screeching overhead ~ make harsh shrill cry
- oblivious ~ forgetful
- grin/smile from ear to ear ~ to look extremely happy
- it's suffering of an exquisite kind ~ delicately beautiful
- fuchsia sunsets ~ bright purplish red color
- some anglers were skunked but couldn't have been happier sharing the beach with other ~ to defeat overwhelmingly, especially by keeping from scoring
- creek chubs ~ fresh water fish
- the anglers cast the line ~ to throw (something, especially something light)
- one quarry in mind ~ an object of pursuit
- tread (trot, trodden) ~ to walk on, over, or along
