Rhode Island fling?
 

Am I right to believe that next weekend we are hooking up in Rhody? :happy: If so, let this be the thread for all the info and tid-bits.

The 5th, Weekapaug.

Uhhh... fer' us outta' state folks... where in God's name is Weekapaug?!?!?! ;)

"where in God's name is Weekapaug?"

I will give you the RI response....


It is right next to Quonochontaug. Hope that helps.

LoL, thats a good one Sandman.

The tackle shop is by the red star............ The road labeled as route 2 is actually route 1

Thanks Sandman! That really clears it up fer' me! ;) LOL!

And, thanks for the map Fishpart.

So... If I go to the Misquamicut board walk / parking area, put it to my right an head straight down the road that parallels the beach, I should run right into it, right???

Rob

Good one Sandman, hehehehe

That's correct...

Here are more detailed maps for Weekapaug:

OK, gonna try to make Rhody leg. So JohnR, how long a drive from Boston? got a football game friday night, but could drive down after? Where and when are folks meeting up?

Ross from Marblehead plan on a minimum of 2hrs. It's about a 1 1/2 for me.

I couldn't resist...everytime I ask directions in RI I get something like..."It is right next to where the old AMES dept store used to be"...Like I know where the hell that is.

Hey, last night I had a 4X8 sheet of 3/4 in plywood nailed me in the shin at 11:30 at night while I was standing in the surf line. Hurt like hell and I thought something bit off my leg for a moment.
Yow! it is still sore.

where is this Rhode Island for which you speak ? In my country we have no roads to islands . I would like very much for to meet guys who like me where rubber pants and rubber sheets .
I.P. Daily

Those rubber pants must smell :laughs:

Ice and Hesh2 (barring an unforseen event) are IN, which breachway, which breachway? Just watch out for falling C-rats, they try to bring you down w/em, hear it suppossed to rain on Saturday? Look out.....

Ok, Just to let ya's know, I will be taking the long walk to Naps Friday and Saturday night, who's comin with me? JohnR, I will carry you if necessary lmaooo. I will be looking for more of these critters.

ahhhhhh, large!! :happy:

DAVE:D :D

I'm falling and I can't get up!
 

Ice you guys are safe! My family tourny is this Saturday and I'm the defending champion. You should have seen me in my hockey days, just like the Hansen brothers in Slapshot!

Old time hockey, Eddie Shore, Toe Blake? Buy you a soda after teh game C-Ratt?

;)

OK - a few people have been asking about local lodging, here is the post Don put up from a previous tourney:

Dang, almost forgot, Hey DaveS, yeh, I'm heading out there too, a couple others have asked me to bring them out too. I'll bring them out because they are experienced enough creepin' on rocks... :D . But you don't need to carry me out there but you do need to e-mail me the pic you were trying to post :D

I got a feeling that this year, we are gonna get into some Deluxe Model bass:happy: . I remember last years fling, and while it was nice to meet alot of ya, the fishing stunk. The weather looks a bit wet for the weekend, but that moon is dropping and we should have a ball. I cant wait till Friday :laughs: John, we should get some fish out there if we spend some time. The best part of the the trip to Naps is the walk. I just like looking around at all that fishy water and trying to picture how many large are hiding 'tween the rocks. I'll bring the oxygen bottle for us just in case we need some after the walk lmaooooo.

Dave... Is that a RI fish?

Charlie

What is the meeting time Saturday at Weekapaug?

OK - high tide at Watch Hill is at 8:30 and Newport is 7:43 - sunset is about 6:20 or so - oh, and we'll have just a sliver of moonlight. That leaves us on the long walk best by 7pm at the latest (for easy walking ;) ) and the breachways crowding, err, dumping out at about 10pm :eek5: ... I vote for a 2:30 pm cookout so the fishing can start in the last hour of daylight...

Suggestions?

And let's start figuring who brings what... Don, the grilles are still back there, right?

I've got the usual Burgers & Dogs...

Oh yeh, sOmEoNe pLeAsE bring utensils :p

No Charlie, it's a NJ fish, though It might have been in Rhody at some point in it's life. Just using it to get people pumped up for the weekend. You comin up Charlie? If so let me know, may be we can carpool it. John, will Don have eels or should we bring em from NJ?

just let me know what to bring i can bring the paper stuff like last time or the bevarages by the way the fishing has been great down here and don should have plenty of eels and any thing else you need hey ross try to make it maybe we can get some fish this time :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

I'M HUNGRY !
 

for some big fish...........

re: Rhody ...
 

If I can find someone to take my girls, I would love to join you folks on Saturday!...

Only need to know the time & address.

I'll bring some NA drinks and some tools for the grill.

Aint got much spending $$$ this week, so let me know what's neede & I'll shop around the house for supplies!!!

Don, if hou have paper plates or plastic ware kicking around, that would be cool
