Scotch Bonnet,
I've got some "super spicy" jerky for you -- just ask Bloocrab...oh, that wasn't the question -- what's the story with the handle "Scotch Bonnet" -- is it because you're always looking for "hot" fishing spots like in Striper Magic? Although there is plenty of fish activity near the light, the structure there is not that dramatic. If you look at a chart or a satellite image of the area, you'll see that the most significant characteristic of this spot is its location. The reef structure to the west, with Fishers Island Sound pushing current through the area and Block Island Sound with its tidal push all adds up to Watch Hill being a magnet for fish.
The "secret spot" in my Striper Magic video is about 1.5 miles to the west of my second favorite spot
. In the next few weeks I'll be giving tips and clues to finding your own fantastic striper honey holes. I've just worked out a sponsorship with Maptech and will be posting both NOAA chart info and new Bathymetric Chart info that should get you folks into the Zone!
