that ramp is in a back cove of wickfor harbour. Head out of the harbour and into the bay.

You will immediately see jamestown and the bridge down the bay.

There are so many spots all over the bay. If you are unfamiliar with the area, I would highly suggest a good chart studying session or two before heading out. The spots are pretty obvious once you start studying the chart.

Thanks for help.

I wasnt trying to get anyone to devulge

their secret fishing spot

or anything like that.

I was just looking for some common known spots that people hit all the time. Just something as a start off point.

I am really totally new to all this. Last year I went on a shark fishing charter off of Point Judith and got hooked (crappy pun was intended). 2 weeks after that I sold my project Hunter Sailboat and bought a 21' Wellcraft V-20 project fishing boat. The boat, though not pretty, is almost ready for the water.

So basically I was just looking for the popular places everyone goes to catch a few, until I start to get the hang of this.

around prudence island

around jamestown island

beavertail (southern tip of conanicut (jamestown) island)

brenton reef (southern tip of aquidnick (newport) island)

Just to name a few.

there are so many fishy looking spots I don't think anyone will have a problem with me posting these. If so, flame away.

If you want to fish in the ocean your best bet is to go down Rte 1 to either Salt pond road or rte 108. There is a ramp off to your left after the salt pond road exit. If you go down Rte 108, make a right onto the Galilee escape road. At the end of the road make a right and there is a ramp, just before you get to the bridge. Trailering the boat down is a lot quicker than running her down the bay.

update, just to confirm, I used wilson park and it is a good ramp.

also note that I edited the directions in the message above.

Golver - welcome to S-B and Rho Dyslundh...

If new to fishing these waters, learn the bay first and sticking to the southern portion, weather permitting, is certainly worth it. Get charts, charts, charts. LOTS of rocks inshore and offshore. If you're not in a channel, there are probably rocks

. Good news is that rocks hold fish

Second - V-20, great boat, grew up on one myself. As a great resource, go to http://www.wellcraftv20.com/ , several members here have them and are on that site - great resource...
