Planning last fishing trip of the season!

Plan A: I'm thinking of going out one more time sometime this week for cod and winter flounder! I'm thinking of launching in Winthrop and fishing at Bob's triangle, Boston Light, the B-bouy and any other ledges out that way.

Plan B: Launching in Warwick, East Greenwich Bay by Ray's Bait shop, fish for any blues remaining in the Bay, Tog.....maybe heading down towards Pt. Judith, lead core trolling for Blues/Stripers....and looking for cod (if there are any down that way).

I know this is a striper chat page, I hope that I'm not offending anyone with a post of fishing different fish species. I wish I had some large striper stories to share, but so far this year I don't have any! As a first year fisherman I still enjoy bottom fishing, I still get excited every time the rod bends....even if it's only a lowly mackerel!!!!

If anyone else is planning to go fishing in their boat this week or weekend, let me know!

I'm still trying to figure out what type of rod to get for my first Surf-cast set up....what do you guys think of a 10' Ugly stick? (I could use my Penn 6500SS from my boat spinning setup that is on a 7'6" daiwa graphite rod)

Thanks for any tips!
