Striper Newbie
 

Hi guys I'm just new to fishing and I am looking for a place that I could catch a striper early in the morning like 6 to 8am this weekend. Do I need a bait or just lures coz I have atom, torm and rapala I can use. I would appreciate it if someone could help me on this. thanks.

What area you from...

The canal is your friend in most cases....
The jetty at the plymouth boat ramp......
The Wareham river behind M+D's is pretty safe (in case you are a real beginner)

I don't have a boat, which Canal was it I live in Riverside RI I tried places near my area like Bristol, Barrington and Sabin Point but no luck. Where exactly in Plymouth co'z I'm not familiar with the place.

Ahhh Rhode Island....
I can give you sort of directions... you might want to try off Colt St. Park.. I have seen people fish off the shore around there... There is also a bridge over the river right there in Barrington.

(I apologize to anyone if I am giving up there spots, but these seem to be very common and safe places for a new guy to fish)


and ooops... rereading your second post.. looks like I told you to go where youve already been! sorry!

can somebody give me a PM co'z I'm planning to go fishing tomorrow morning and I hate to go home empty handed. Can you help this newbie please...

Just zip down to the cape cod canal.

I am sure there are places that might be closer, but the canal is the old standby!

What's the best to use on that area frozen bait or lure(plugs, jigs, spoon)?

Well, pretty much anywhere has the potential to catch fish.

If you havent been there before.. Go down twords the RailRoad bridge and just walk along the path till you find a spot that looks good to you.


Try to get there for the time a couple hours before during and after the change of tide

Read every post. You guys are ' Sweeeeeet '

I'm probably taking the 'money pit' out tomorrow after water/shifting tests.

Thanks - I got sum clams and maceral right in the fridge.

Wh00t !!!

I would NOT send a newbie off to the ditch unguided for the first time. That is just a recipe for headaches and could turn someone away from fishing.
