My family lived on Nashawenai Island when I was young. My dad would work all day then walk from the white farm house were we lived that is in the center of the island to North rock in Quicks Hole at night and fish from shore. I never fished salt water there as a young boy but fish the fresh water ponds on the island all the time. We moved to Datrmouth were I started to fish for stripers in Padanaram harbor with some other kids from the area. My aunt and uncle still lived on the island until they retired to Cuttyhunk were I would spend time in the summer with them and another one of my uncles who was a charter guide out of Cuttyhunk. He was the one that realy got me Hooked on stripers. I have so many great memories of walking the shores of the island as a teen catching fish from just about every rock and pool along the south shore and the west end. My dad and I never had much time to fish together as he was always hard at work putting food on the table and clothes on our backs. I did love to hear the stories of the 50 pounder he caught and draged home from North rock his biggest fish ever.
