Looking for a place to stay on BI weekend of Nov. 9th and 10th.
Not many places open. Waiting for a few call backs but nothing yet.
Just looking for a place for two guys, nothing fancy, just beds and shower.
Any advice would be appreciated. Tried search feature but didn't come up with any leads that were open during that time.

Try the Naragansett Inn.

Stay in your truck like we did last year...

We've done that plenty of times but a comfortable place to sleep would be nice.

Agreed! - especially when it's 20 degrees with a strong NW wind at 3:00 AM like last year - with no fish around...

That's exactly why. We spent one night out there huddled against a log that we used as a pillow. It's not worth going all the way back to the truck we told ourselves. Let's rest for a while and then go back at it. Absolute misery in the shivering cold. :D

The studio (sleeps 4) is good for 2 - 4 guys. I have stayed there a few times.

doesn't twin maples bait and tackle have some accomidations for surf rats.

When I went, I went with the wife, so she had some bead and breakfast we stayed out. Not very fisherman frienldy. I hear the Old Town Inn is much more fisherman friendly.

Funny because just about every other guy we talked to the 2 days & 1 night we were there got nothing...

Now the week after we left...different story I heard.

Not sure if it was the same weekend...... I got a couple decent fish on that Sat morning,,,,,no monsters but there were some fish around,,, It was the weekend of our groups little tourney.

Just remember how cold that morning was and that wind cutting through my hands and face,,,,,

Good luck to everyone out there the second week of NOV.. Hope it is a great weekend,,,

Same weekend - but we fished Sat evening into Sunday morning - not Saturday morning. We talked to some of your group and most were complaining how bad the fishing was the entire 3-4 days you were there.

Just curious but how are they about tenting on the island? Any Campgrounds where you can setup camp?

There is no camping allowed hence no campgrounds.

I have a couple rocks I plan on camping on this year,,,,,
