Question Where is it? And why do you think it's a great spot?

Here's a spot that might be a little more difficult for you guys and gals to figure out.




Where is it?

Why do you suppose it's a terrific place to fish?

Bonus question: Who's standing on the rock?

Looks like a spot I know.....but ain't sure........then again....it looks like about three spots I know....

I'd assume that's mid to high tide?.....

High tide at C.B.


But - what the heck is that can doing there? I retract my answer...

Looks like another one of the beautiful places I haven't had a chance to fish yet.

By the looks of the can to the right of the rocks I would say there is probably some moving water. A combination of the correct tide and wind probably fills that patch of rocks with Striper Food

SeaWolf,

What makes you think he wasn't there before the sun came up!

Note the amber hue of the sky...it's just after sun up.

Now you know the compass orientation, you've got a can as a reference point...I know some of you fish this area...and I'm not telling where it is..........................yet!

Mike

I was thinking Sunrise, like the end of a good night or a few casts before work.

well it's not Hull and I don't think it's Cuttyhunk.
How about Rocky Point?

Could this be the Sakonnet River point where it meets the ocean, Tiverton side? Looks like I've been by there in a boat before.

You know all the good spots Mike.

Ah....bummer...yeah, it is just sun up. The reflection in the splashing wave in the lower left corner had me thinking the other way, but after looking closer at the shodows on the rocks.......

Mike,
I believe that clump of rocks is just to the left of a pretty well known breachway, a relatively QUiet area, in front of a stretch of beach homes where parking is alright after early September. I've had some success there on the outgoing, but certainly need to give it another shot this season.

I REALLY like the breachway though

Chris

I know where that is too Boocrab, and like Tattoo said, edit that out. It should not be on the web.

Well Bloo, if it is that way then it's still a long walk but not as far. But are there rocks there? I don't think so.
