I was getting alot of good responses before and alot of good location names but the problem is i don't know where these places are and the one place i found i have not even seen another fisherman and no fish to speak of. I am getting teribly desperate and i need to catch fish. I am getting serious withdrawals from lack of reeling in anything except my lures or bait.
please please please help..........

You're a bit early I believe. I live weekends in Souther Maine and don't usually go out until the middle of May. Even then, we consider Memorial Day weekend our "unofficial" start. Check out the water temps in maineharbors.com. They're still in the low to mid 40's. They consistently have to be in the 50's before we start to see many fish. Good luck.

Hey Marty - Maine / RI is stuck in my town now.... How you doing?

ME/RI - there have been hardly any catches in the Warwick area - even from boat. It might be another week before any start showing up around here. The West Wall is a great place to go if the winds are generally out of the South West and it's better late afternoon until sunset. Here is a link we had on the Wall....

It's your best bet if you want something tugging on your line and it's only 30 minutes away....

Missed the boat on the message. That's what happens when I check the boards at 5:30 AM. I'm doing fine, thanks, John. I haven't posted but I assure you that I check in every day. Been busy between work and overseeing the reconstruction of the Maine house. Should be in by Memorial Day, just in time to fish. Hey, Fisherwoman, do you mind letting a few pass by so they can head up my way?
