The ride out of the river is long and slow but it puts you 15 minutes from Cuttyhunk and 15 minutes from Newport .Just be VERY carefull on days that the swells are up off shore from a storm as the mouth of the river can be bad at mid. to low tide if the swells are up. I have gone out just to turn around and go back as the mouth was so bad. I have seen guys take stupid chances there to go out and pay for it in a swamped boat or worse. On those days I go back to Fairhaven and launch just fine and go straight to Robbinsons to fish.

Good luck and good fishing!!

Yeah I have fished Cuttyhunk and Newport for about 20 years or so, I just always used to come up the river, now I want to cut the ride down a bit. And your dead right about the swellls, been there done that. I usually just stay i n the river if it looks bad out there.
Thanks for the info, where do I get a sticker?

SC you can pick one up at the town hall or call the town hall and give them the info they need and send them a check. They will in turn mail you a sticker. Was $30.00 last year for the season. Its $5.00 or $8.00 at the ramp so if you plan to use it 5-6 times I would get the sticker.
