camping and fishing

larrys overnight yak trip has got me thinking i would like to do some trips with my oldest boy this year. was thinking a trip to race point. any others suggestions on camping spots close to fishing action. boston harbor islands would be cool but maybe next year when he's a little older

my 1st wife didn't like me fishing so much

Paul, consider freshwater too as you will have more options. Quabbin Reservoir is great for that. You can catch a billion small mouth bass and he will love it. Bunch of camp grounds there and you can rent a tin boat with 9.9 HP for the day too. It's been a while but I think there are 3 access ponts at Quabbin and all rent boats for the day.

Niko, there is one island in Boston harbor you could stay on overnight.Right outside of Hull.I was given a tour,beer and history lesson there two years ago.I guess this island used to be the infirmary for newbies too ill to enter Boston.Nice and clean and kept that way by a gent who has been summering there for years.

I used to go there all the time 2 weeks at a time, I got turned off a few years ago because of the not so friendly staff all the drunks and massive amount of fish racks at the boat launch left to rot and stinking up the whole place

RI has a couple of parks, Burlingame and fishermans memorial. I only go in the offseason till mid june or after labor day and it's easy to get a spot. No drunks allowed which is nice.

I am going to Elk Neck Maryland [state park]

Its right next to the bay where I am staying. Wake up at 5:30, gather my bait and hit the small path. I have never fished the Chesapeake before unfortunately. If I have a bad day, there is a lake where i can easily catch a 5 pound bass and cook her up. I cannot wait and it is highly recommended to do so =]

Well there was no drinking aloud when I camped there and that never stops anyone. I'm not going to get into what went on there here but I will say this thank god there are always State police at that park
