I went out last night and it was a nightmare . New boat, new rods, new reels. First, the waves and wind made it too much past Conimicut, so I moved North. Found a calm beach with an estuary coming out. Dropped anchor, ruswhed my herring chunk on my rod, cast, and BBBBZZZZZZZZTTTTT....birds NEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had two other poles, so i rigged a spiinning rod and tossed a chunk out. No dice. The chunks of (un-frozen) herring went flying off on every cast. I finally threw a whole herring with a hook through its eye out, after 1.5 hours, no bites. While I waited I cut the birds nest to pieces and threw some plugs on another pole. At dark I put on my lights. Port light didn't light. (sigh) I had it. So I pulled up and headed in. Somehow, after driving 10 mintues into the cove, my engine refused to make right turns. I almost crashed, got a guy on the dock to grab a line, and we waqlked my boat over and around boats to my slip. I am miserable. DO they make a movie like ROCKY about fishing?
