small stripers in South County
Took the dog and my 8.5 foot spinning rod for a drive yesterday (Sunday) morning. Got To Watch Hill at about 10:00, took the long walk out to Napatree point and back. Saw a few breaking fish, sometimes within casting distance, but I couldn't hook up.
After a quick beer and fish & chips at the Andrea, I was walking the dog on the beach near Misquamicut, when I saw a bunch of cars on the beach, about halfway back to Watch Hill Light. I broke out the binoculars, and I could see a bunch of breaking fish and crashing birds, just in front of the lucky stiffs who were already there. I drove down there and there was an intense feeding frenzy going on. It was pretty crowded, so I did more looking than fishing, but the fish were small stripers, maybe 5 pounds. Guys were hooking up on small surface poppers, and small Kastmaster-type tins.
All in all, a very worthwhile trip.
