my boat is a '85 23 foot searay weekender with a 260 mercruiser. Its OK for fishing, but its really set up for cruising, (gotta take the wife occasionally). I bought it pretty cheap with a bad motor and replaced the motor. I know quite a bit about cars and thought it would be transferrable to a mercruiser. It wasn't as easy as I thought (nothing is!), but I'm done and ready to go. It looks OK and runs great. I moor it at Conimicut Point where I live. A friend who lives on the water lets me use his mooring. I'll be doing some fishing this week between the raindrops, we'll see how it goes.
I figured going south and deep at night is the answer. But is there any spots up north that are OK this time of year, that way if I want a quick trip I can do it.
Speaking of bluefish, it seems to me that the schools are nothing compared to last year. I think the bay is heating up slower this year due to all the rain in June and the they'll be at Conimicut Point soon. Last year guys were catching them with nets on the shore! Alot of guys say that you can catch stripers under the boiling bluefish, seems to me it would be pretty hard to get a lure past the bluefish. What do you do, jig under them?
You guys seem like a good bunch and its nice to talk to rhode islanders on the web. Usually you talk to people half way across the country who think rhode island is part of new york (no, that's long island!)
Good Luck!
