Gooseberry Neck

[Mike P]

The guy lives an hour or so away and doesn't want to waste a drive for nothing. This really isn't a super secret spot he's talking about. All he wants to do is walk along the area and look at what changes have occurred over the winter. By the time fish arrive, this thread will be on page 5 and fading. In fact, if this pissing match continues, it'll fade a hell of a lot faster than that.

I can't tell you about any gates or tackle shops in Westport, though. You'd only be 10-15 minutes from CMS but they're closed on Sunday.

I have to disagree a quick call to the Westport police dept. will tell you about the gate and a google search or a search on the Mass fish and wildlife web site will give you the bait shop info. we go thru this every year it it is tiresome

[Mike P]

What's different about this than someone asking whether they're charging the parking fee at Scussett on Patriots' Day?

He obviously already knows where the place is. He's not asking how to get there. He's not asking for information on when the fish might be there. Are we at the point where the mere mention of any place along the East Coast is forbidden? Regardless of the information we're looking for?

If that's the case, John might as well roll up the carpet and shut the lights off right now.

Spots that only hold a limited amount of people shouldn't have attention brought upon them, this spot was killed by an OTW Piece a few years ago and cars started to be towed and ticketed because of the amount of people going there. this place isn't like "The Cape Cod Canal", "Race Point", or Plum Island it's a place that only hold 4 or 5 people max.

Oh, I forgot: I'm from Manhattan... so what do I know?

So, in other words, you're complaining about the draft in the barn after the horse has already been let out

[tattoobob]

Mike I'm not complaining it is only my opinion on this subject, just like you have yours

[smokefish]

My message may have been tongue in cheek but I was serious. The very well known Gooseberry has not been a early spring hot spot.

There are no bait shops in Westport like Mike said CMS and Uncle Ken's are 10 minutes away.

When the fish are in at Gooseberry you'll know by the 20 - 30 people lining the causeway.

lc99, the guy asks a simple question and you give him a hard time. that's great, lighten up francis.

No idea Johnny. My only concern is that now I know an old fahrt like you will be driving Sunday in Westport - I'm staying far away

Remember to look over the steering wheel instead of between the wheel and the dash on your Sunday drive

(btw - eelskimmer was the, err, young guy making all those cracks about the Alaskan salmon at Too Cold...)

LC1099
1) No
2) No
3) Park at Camp Cronin and walk east

Seriously though - I do see a difference between this question and asking where to hide a vehicle along 1.5 miles of secluded road with 10 million dollar homes tossed about.
