Krispy –
Overall I’d say you have pretty good strategy. The only problem with a systematic 2-3 spots per season exploration of the Rhody shore is the number of spots and the shortness of viable fishing life. There are just so many spots, and so many “spots within the spot” that you will run out of time and only scratch the surface. Block Island is even worse – so many spots – so little time.
The conventional wisdom suggests that a surfcaster break the shoreline he wishes to learn down by structure as opposed to spot name. The theory (and it is just theory) is that places with similarities in composition are often good under similar condition sets.
I also suggest hooking up with a few of the regulars on this board. Some will tell you, “No,” if they do - just move on to the next person – I have found that more people are willing to help than not.
And you can also go out there in the winter and test the drop-offs with a bank sinker and see how places make up under different tide stages – exploration is not limited to fishing season.
And yes...the Rhody shore rocks!
