Thought I would give you guys a report.
Spence, Bryan Oakley (RI Rockhound) and I just spent 3 days on the Island. Right now there are no fish at the Island. I mean NO fish.
We fished everywhere from SW Point, Dories, Gracies to Mansion beach to the SE Side from Old Harbor Point to Cat Cove on every combination of tides. None of us ever got a bump. Needlefish, live eels, swimmer, tins, Hogys, jigs nothing. Spoke with Chris at Fish Works and he said the only fish for over a month have been in New Harbor and they are all schoolies. They disappeared after Sandy.
I'm not trying to discourage you guy. I am just setting realistic expectations. I hope the fish show when you are out there.
The road past the Spring House is closed due to Sandy as is Corn Neck Road. Corn Neck is only closed close to Town so if you go around the back way yo can get back on around the Town Pavilion and then the road is OK all the way to Cow Cove.
We had a great time even with no fish. Good company, good food and a lot of laughs. Spence's bottle of premium bourbon didn't hurt either.
