FINALLY!

Went to "the toliet" today and finally caught my first bass of 2002! I went around 4:00 1 guy was in the park area and he was bottom fishing with 7 rods all along the fence. So me and a friend decided to hit the docks. After an hour the sun started to set so we figured we would try a different area while walking along the docks we noticed splashes along the wall under the walkway. it was small stripers chasing a small school of peanut bunker. So we flipped our 3" shad bodies under the walkway and my firend hooked up, I casted along the walkway and hooked up as well they were awfully small maybe around 14" or so but still a lot of fun. They fought well and were really healthy looking. My firend hooked up once more and the action died out. The wind got to me and I decided to go home. I went yesterday night and there was about 5 guys there and no action. But While I talked to another fella heading towards the dock and he said a keeper sized fish was caught yesterday it must have been after I left. I will give it another try if the weather warms up but right now that 1 fish helped with the winter blues.

All right! That Does it! I'm going up there!

I've never fished the toilet. I'm not even sure how to get out there. But I'm going to find out.

'Haven't been doing anything down here on the jetties and beaches.

If you had told me last year that I would go fishing up there THis year, I'd have thought you were crazy. So much for beautiful beaches, the rolling open sea, and Block Island off on the horizon.
