I drive by Goat Island Causeway in Newport (yeah, go ahead and flame away) and I shake my head.

First of all, if you haven't been there in spring, it's a freakin' third world zoo.

Second, parking is tough. Woe be unto you if you park at the Hyatt and get caught.

Thirdly, the squidding isn't THAT great. The guys who do well there are there all night and bring the Coleman lamps with them for a few of the larger squid. It's hard work.

There are many other places where you can jig up some squid with 1/10th the hassle of that place.
