I'm a shallow water fisherman... I fish the Merrimack and Ipswich bay.. cranes beach... going "outside" along the ocean front is a long way around ( and on many occasions the ocean is to wild to go outside) to get to fish inside in the Rowley,Parker,Ipswich and several other smaller rivers that converge are with in eye sight of the Merrimack but are off limits unless I make a long run or hit the tide just right so I can run the Plum Island river.. it's less than 3 miles running the PI river and about 13 to go around and back inside... years ago.. the army corps. dredged the PI river so access to the bay from the Merrimack could be possible at almost any tide... since they stopped in the early 70's the marsh has taken over and filled in a good deal of the ( plum island) river making it unnavigable for anything other than a small tin boat for the majority of the tidal cycle... by adding a jack plate my boat can now easily run that with only 12" of water or even less..besides..he who dies with the most toys wins!
