Don't bring plugs - bring 1/2 oz white or white/red upperman bucktail jigs and cocahoe minnows or LR smaller stickbaits - pearl....

Notaro, I highly doubt you will find any holdovers in providence... its too cold for them to move out of their upper bay haunts yet.

John R- How'd ya know??;)

Chowdahead. I'll send you a pm

JohnR- Aww, crap, then I guess that I will have to go home and get my plastics and jigheads.

Eben-I know, but I have a casting session with FWW, conventional and spinning.

Ah yes, up North, the smell of the cool fresh air, the lights twinkling in the sky, the wildlife rustling in the burger king wrappers :p Eben, I need a P205 75 R15 in good condition if you happen to dredge one up.

Good lookin' fish for a skank though :D

Toonoc - those fish are cleaner than the first Thames fish that show up at the WW. That's not sealice...

Eben - how did I know? I've fished it for a few years...

That fish is better looking than the last of the late season schoolies I caught off the beach last fall. I had a bunch that were pretty scummy for some reason :confused:

every fish that i have caught up there has been FAT and healthy... In fact I'd even go out on a limb and say that I might even take one home :eek: Seriously, these fish are fatter than some of the fish I find down in so-county

Im sure all kinds of bait fish reside in the warm water there all winter long.
