What's your favorite stretch of the Striper Coast? <font color="0000cc"><font size="2">

Personally, I have alot of trouble with this one. I love the stretch of beach on the Outer Cape, Truro to Nauset - just really started going there the last few years.. Getting to know her along with the Ditch. MV, Nantucket - those are great - can't wait until The Derby. If it was not for Block Island, I'd say from Narragansett to Watch Hill is my favorite stretch... But Block is what keeps returning to mind. Haven't been there all that much but I intend to correct that!!

John, I have a 15 year+ love affair with the Vineyard--it has everything. Open beach with high surf, rocky areas ala the Block and Montauk, quiet little backwaters that you would swear couldn't hold a school of chubs but which give up 30# class fish, even a breachway or two. Definitely my favorite stretch.

You're onto something Mike...One of the great things about the Vineyard is the fact that it has almost every type of striper structure available... You have numerous salt ponds emptying into the ocean, you've got several flats, deep water, bridges, rips all over the place, rocky sections and the best thing about an island - you can almost always find a wind that you like!
Although Block is a little easier to get to...

Are you going to the derby this year??

There you go OX... If you select the help section at the top of this page it'll go over the various UB Code you can use. I believe Tim's site uses different code to accomplish the same thing... Hey, maybe I'll see you down there soon. It's such a long drive from Braintree...

WOW this is a tough one......If I have to pick one, I would say Block Island is great!!!! We have gone up there for a week in the fall the last couple years. I love being out there the feel of the place, the fishing is good also :) I hope to hit da vinyard some day. The outer beaches are nice also, we are skipping the week on BLock Island this year and doing a week on the outer cape.........Over all, all of my favorite stretch of bass water is from Watch Hill through Provincetown.......not real narow but it pretty mcyh sums it up for me

John M. We'll need to meet up...
 

I'll have the OSV permits for the Outer Cape this year.... Do some eeling!

Definately.......
 

I am looking forward to it John, I sent you an email about it.......

The one I am fishing at any given time. The ocean is my best friend. Can't beat the solitude of hearing jah rythms of her. Every once in a while I'll fish with my eyes closed and really feel jah rythms inside my soul. It is almost like my rod is an extension of my being....

I fish only on Ogunquit beach in maine, since this is where we have our summer home. The problem is that there are too many people in the water during the heat of the summer plus the Maine season usually only runs from Memeorial Day through the end of September.

i'm in:whackin:

The Ditch for sure. Ox do you liv in Brantree or Foxboro?

I'm In. Ah Squibby.

Who dug up this old chestnut? :rotf3:

Watch Hill-My favorite spot
Old Harbor Point to The Stairs-My favorite stretch

Outer cape

Quonnie to Watch Hill...

Scorton Creek to Billingsgate

Seal Point.

That fella from RI that posted "I"m in" :laugha:

Well folks - for those that didn't figure it out, I believe this might be the first thread created on S-B, mebbe - ooohhllaallaaa - LONG time ago ;) ?

Hmmm....favorite stretch...:smokin:

I dunno, I think for me it's a toss-up between The Place at the End of the Long Walk and The Place at the End of the Short Walk. And last year I started to like The Place in the Middle again after giving it a break for a while.

You know the places I mean, Cap...:uhuh:

The place in my avatar is a close second to the El Canallo. If I could get out there more often, would prolly pass the ditch.

Probably the stretch that I get to fish the most...Brewster flats, from Quivet creek to Point of Rocks beach. Sure it's crowded in summertime and your chances at the really big girls aren't great, you can't beat it for alot of reasons. It used to be a great place to live line herring in the spring (maybe someday again in the future). Early summer mornings are productive, I can almost smell the smell of the predawn dropping tide...can't wait.

the little shops on thames street in newport

Good grief.

Block Island, for me hands down. If I could fish only one place, that would be it.

Pole 280 to 220

You mean to tell me there are other places to catch fish other than the canal. I wonder why I can't get my truck to drive past it?

Although it has been mostly barren the last several years, the outer Cape from Race Point to the Wellfleet line back beaches.

Someday someway they will be back, until then I fish where the fish are but my heart longs for the Truro sands.

I fish from the Hill, to the tail in the Bay. I do well.:kewl:

LOL....sorry JR...I was bored....:hihi:

Back in the day.....Mission Bell to High Head, hands down.

And if you don't know where they are....thank God because they will be back .:wavey:

Frenchmans to Deep Hole alot of history along this stretch

One type of place, well no, one place actually
 

At first I was thinking it's not one place, but more like one type of place. That would be a long walk with nobody there but water, and hopefully a couple of fish. Then I realize it was a long walk, with maybe a couple of folks you know along the way or at the destination, with water and a couple of fish. Oh yeah, with a porch with a bunch of folks you know and good smokes (gars) and something to good to drink that warms you up (scotch), and stories of the nights' fishing and younger days' debauchery (Cutty). Especially if one the sons come along (not necessarily for the scotch, well OK, scotch too then for the full rights of passage). Bob H.

The whole Cape and Islands are my favorite. Out of that I'd have to say the Barnstable Bay side area.

Vineyard since "73" 1st last and always.

The Block, particularly a place on the SW and a place on the E. Don't get there enough and don't fish the surf enough when I'm there, but that has to be numero uno. Canal is a close second.

Gooseberry Island in Westport to Warren's Point in R.I. Just because it's in my comfort range with my little "tin" boat.
