hey Joe.....

welcome aboard!!

....This is especially for you.

....Drive down your street, turn left....go four miles take a right at the Stop sign. At the first set of lights....take a left. Proceed to Herring Lane and drive 7.2 miles until you see the Sip and Dip donut shop that will be Pogy Road, turn down that road...and about 3/10 of a mile you'll come across a dirt road, that is Striper Avenue. Drive down this dirt road and park as close to the water's edge as you can. Walk down toward the beach counting your steps....at 29 steps....turn 48 degrees southwest...and continue for 39 more steps....then step on the rock that looks like Elvis's silhoette, its right next to Freddy Flynn's stone...your gonna wanna cast 112 feet slightly to your right...if you count the wakes of the waves...that would make it.....83 wakes. The tide will be perfect at 3:03 am on Friday morning, and the wind doesn't matter for this spot. Throw a big fat Herring out there...Theres a 55#er out there waiting for supper, and I told him you were coming....Good Luck!!!

Alright Bloo

Great reply!! Why don't we meet them at the gas station, hold their hand, and lead them down the sandy trail??

I've paid my fishless dues -- and probably you have too. Slept in my car--froze my a&% off--drove my gas tank empty. Bought lures and bait , that had no chance of working anywhere near the place I got it from. LIVE--LEARN.

Drive down where you see some water &%#&^ and start fishing!!!!

Oh yeah, welcome to the site.

Joe, You live in Westerly, I believe that is amost as close to Mecca as you can get in RI. I haven't had the years to learn the spots, but you can't go wrong around Watch Hill or Naps.

Joe, welcome aboard - don't mind these people, they are jealous of close you are to beautiful fishing

...

You have every boulder littered stretch of beach from WH to 'Gansett to work. I recommend you not only stop in and see Don or Charlie @ Weekapaug B&T but that you also visit all nooks and cranny's from Weekapaug Breachway up to the beach past weekapaug point. That ALONE would take a couple years to learn and they are all productive areas.... Don't forget your Korkers

What kind of fishing do you do?

BM - yer right, no Elvis
