Point Judith Question

[piemma]

I am not surprised at all the "fell down" responses. It really is a tough spot to fish. The upside is that if you fish the East side you will probably be alone. If there is someone there , it will be a diehard like yourself.
The East side was always better in the Fall although I have pulled a stray 20 out of there on a mid-Summer night tide on eels fished real slow. The other tip is that the East side has been known to light up right before a front with a NE wind. Tough though. Wind in your face and will weed up pretty quick. You need to catch it exactly right.

I just got back from there just now..

I will not go back until I have korkers.. It was low tide and I was amazed at the surf on the jetty...

There were about 20 people on the jetty and every one of them were fishing for scup... Not what I expected to see... but what a pretty area in general... The beaches in the area looked nice and I can totally see it would be a mobscene on a sunny day...

The lighthouse area seemed to be all fenced off so we didnt bother going over there. It was kinda icky out and slick anyway....

People here describing the very slippery rocks on the east side are talking about Pt Judith (the light house). Not the east wall or the west wall.

ahhh i wasnt really fishing.. just exploring, so we didnt really go over there.. we took a peek, but didnt go beyond the fence...

I love them snot rocks out there! Tides there are nutty, because you got those three tides working against eachother, you got sakonnet, Nar. Bay and Block isl. Sound all smashing together just off the point... GAWD I love it there!!! and IF I wasnt going to a sox game tonight!!! I'd be all over it... That place gives me wood!!!

Everyones slipped atleast ONCE out there Have fished plenty more dangerous places its not that bad really, its a good place to test your mettle though...

I've gone down at least 5 times out there. the cobble more slimy than an eels belly. i know blackeye has gone down there at least once as I saw him go arse over teakettle there last fall. All i saw was whitewater and korkers pointing up to the heavens..

are you allowed to walk out in front of the lighthouse etc? granted it was the middle of the day but other than the jetty, there was noone out there at all.
