Directions... Here are the directions for various spots... Hope to see everyone that can come!!!! For local communications, Motorola Talk-Abouts have decent range. I'll have a pair of 250s along, on channel 10!!!!

Initial meet at 3pm at the Bess Eaton Donuts on Rt 1 (Ocean Side) in Charlestown, RI http://www.striped-bass.com/Images/besseaton.gif

The spots were focusing on (Watch Hill can be a nasty spot, Korkers and rock hopping in order)

Hey, John, not sure if I'll make it, but if I do, two questions: How long from 95 to get there? I know it takes me exactly 1 hour to get to the CT border.

How is the parking in the planned fishing areas?

Thanks.

Figures , I've been telling people it was the bess eaton at Dunns Corner!! ?? Duh! :) I hope people read this update!

Saltheart, that was plan C :D !!! Bess Eaton in C-Town. Steve, its way near the end and I think it's the same time to take 95 to 4 to 1 as it is coming in from 95. Bill or Saltheart would have better info. Parking is good at Charlestown Beach/Breachway but at Watch Hill, you need to park in behind the Inn and walk down the road to Watch Hill Lighthouse...

New Cell # 617-680-2798 ** I'll have it on and with me 8)

Best way to get there from CT is to take 95 to exit 92 in CT. Bottom of ramp , go right. A little way down you'll see an entrance to 78 on your left. Turn down 78. that road changes to RI 78 but that road leads you right to RT 1 in Westerly. To get to the Charletown Bess eaton , go left onto RT 1 north. Bess eaton is easy to see on the right hand side I'm guessing 10 minutes down Rt 1 north.. Its a big bess eaton.

Thamks guys! Saltheart, I'll be coming from MA, but I'll find it if I go. Chances are slim right now, but you never know. If I don't see you guys, best of luck!!!!

Great move Saltheart , give "Steve from MA." directions from CT!! That's it for me today , I'm going fishing. :)

From Mass take 95 to 4 to 1 south. Rt 4 exits left off 95 just after 295 hits 95 in Warwick. Hope you can make it

Is Charlestown beach a rocky beach? It is a near full moon tonight. So we need some rocks for those rockfish.

Charelstown beach ends with a nice pile-o-rocks, The Breachway :D - very rocky but the salt pond dumps out through it... I might be a tad late as were moving schtuff

I'll be there. Assuming I got the correct directions. Good thing I double checked. DOH! I would have ended up back in Maine. Hmmm, I thought that I was the only one dangerous with directions.......

John I wish you mentioned this little mystery trip when we were riding back from Quansoo where we went with Mantia and wife. I would have arranged to be able to go. Never have fished Rhody and would have jumped at the chance to fish with someone experienced with the area. John R (10-13-2000 08:09):
