Great stuff from everyone, Im glad Im not the only one with a "system"
Don, thats one of this past seasons spots that I wanted to learn. I have a good grasp on the area now, and there are some REAL interesting spots nearby that will get my attention in the coming season.
The reason I want to step up in line is purely for abrasion. Its incredible what one fish rubbing his nose in the rocks can do to line and leader.
Joe, your so right. THere are so many spots and then spots within spots, theres a lifetime of learning and interest on the Rhody shoreline.
Thats why I say its not really possible to learn an area in a season, maybe more of a solid understanding.
I like to fish similar spot conditions, meaning I like ROCKS!
Especially rock ledges jutting from shore. I cant tell you how many times Ive fallen down wading out to rocks

I rather walk to the edge.
