I too would be willing to help out with my boat if we have groups near Pt. Judith. Carpenter's bar, near the Ocean Mist usually holds scup at high tide this time of year. You might want to wait until after Aug. 7th when the limit goes to 40 fish per angler on party/charter boats. At today's 10 fish per angler limit no one is fishing for them.

Very generious of you Ronnie. See everyone - the grinch does have a heart. I would love to get Dominic out w/ you sometime. Can we set something up for next month or do you think you'll be too busy w/ charters then. Maybe we can recruit another boat or 2

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.

Looks like my son and I are in. Gonna be tough getting him out the door that early, but he's excited so he might get his butt in gear. I've never fished that spot, but my dad used to own a property on Water St. and I'd sometimes see people fishing from tyhe piers.
Thanks for putting this together Niko and Liv2fish!

i would bring some snapper and scup rigs, lead, and plenty of bait. any rod will do - just as long as it can hoist a scup up to the pier. i usually use schoolie setups, but i'm gonna bring a heavier setup and chunk some pogie too. dominic wants a bluefish |

Sounds good. I'll go through my gear in the next couple of days and figure out what to bring. I have some sand eels my son caught in the freezer, along with a bunch of minnows. Maybe I'll pick up some squid, too.

In a kids fishing thread? Come on already. You know who it was. If you have beef with him just pm him. We all had to read about it and it was gross to say the least. Let's stay on track for this one.

Most likely coming and the better half will be there to. Our son just turned 2 in April so he needs to be watched by many eyes.

Don't worry pete. Golfing is just part of being gay and rich.

I'm definitely in. I'll have my two girls - 2 and 3.5, and maybe my two nephews 10 and 12. I have all the gear we'll need and some extra for anyone that may need something.
This is going to be awesome - weather looks great for this type of fishing with kids. |

I'll bring a couple of boxes of tip-tops and some ferrule cement. If you have a rod that needs a tip, bring it along.
