So, are we in for Mattapoisett? Date?
As I mentioned, I spent many years there as a kid fishing these piers and would love to share it with my kids. It would be nice to meet some of you guys as well.
Some recommendations:
There were always plenty of snapper blues on the top pier in the photo. This one has a wall to keep the shorties from falling off the pier. We used to use bread and a piece of screen to attract and catch silver side minnows then live line them on a bobber.
The long middle pier probably fishes better but I would definitely recommend life jackets as it's a long way down and a long swim to an easy exit point - trust me, i did it - once...
The other two piers were always too convoluted to fish - either boat rigging in the way or crusty old boat owners not wanting kids fishing around their boat. They didn't allow fishing from the floats for sure - I met the harbor master a few times over that one.
I say we pick a date and have at it. Not sure of bait shops in the area. It's probably best to just bring some worms and squid strips from your local shop.
