Everyone should have an idea, or preference of where they would like to fish, so we can have locals guide or give directions/input. The options are varied and not all that close to one another. Plum Island is a great take, and you are right there. There is Gloucester and Cape Ann, Maine to the north, and then closer to Boston, Nahant, Marblehead, and Manchester. Marblehead is a 45 minute ride from Plum Island, as a reference of distances. I would be happy to show you my neck of the woods, just want to get a feel of numbers so we can spread some locals with out of towners... I hope Luds and others can help me out here....If local guys could chime in with where they would be willing to take some folks, that would be helpful.
Last year we fished Plum Island out front on the then connected sand bar, and then drove a group down to Marblehead, where we got blown out by high surf conditions. JohnR has been up here a few times, so I would value his input as an out of towner who has been here, as there are some "challenging" spots we like to access.....
And Bob Huddy already has the guest bedroom, and will be traveling with me.

I can lead a few folks to some fishy spots in my neighborhood. After the feast, a 30 minute drive to Rockport and then the back shore of Glosta (Aptly named Bass Rocks) and perhaps the boulder fields of Magnolia.
I am no professional guide (or fisherman for that manner) but the fishing has been improving in the last few days and the weather forecast/tides are favorable so there will be fish to be had. Be forewarned if you are a bluefish hater (or lover?) as they have been abundant and absolutely crushing the plethora of spike macs that are still surrounding Cape Ann.

Hey, I can't make it. However, since we've never met, you won't exactly miss me! I was hoping to show up, being a new member I was looking forward to meeting you guys. I still may be able to stop by @3 for the bbq, but I have to keep going up to Maine by 5 or so. Hopefully, when there is a get-together closer to my area(RI) I can attend! have fun and tie one on for Ol' Deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&!!!

As far as I know, Slip and the Professer are fishing with me...
So far this week , the last hour of the incoming tide has been much better than the top and the out going ( late stage)in the river, lots of small bluefish making life miserable if you want bass...still a mix of medium bass to be had, lots of fussy fish at the top...with an occasional bruiser...
I havent been out on the beach since last thursday, hoping to give it a try tonight (if the wind drops off after sunset)so maybe I can give a little insight on what to expect there...
Low tide is at 5:59 Sunday morning... running off to a -0.2... the mouth/jetty will be the place to be... small and medium spooks will do big buisness if things are as they should be..I'll explain a litte more at the get together..

Just a thought
If anyone headed north would like to at least be shown some local areas in Marblehead, I could do that if you were to be here by noon on Saturday. That would give us enough time to scout some areas in daylight and then get to PI by 3pm. Just let me know.

Thanks for the offer. I am down for that. I finally just looked at the north shore on a map and Rockport/ Gloucester area looks even better as it sticks way out in the middle of the ocean. I fished Plum Island/ mouth of Merrimack about 10 yrs ago with small fish to show for it. Was way out on a sand bar and the fog rolled in. I was stumbling around with my waders in my hand for hours tryin to find my way back in. Was heart pumpin for sure as I wasn't familiar with the area. 
I am pumped to come up there and fish.
Looking forward to this weekend.
Weather looks good with SW around 11 wind which I would imagine is good for up there. Chance of thunder boomers hopefully won't ruin the night. High tide around 9:30pm.
Bring it on.
Let's be in touch to set somethin up. |

I'd love to be there, but I have a birthday party that day. Maybe next year. Sounds like a good time.

The best part about fishing Rockport is watching the BFT crash about 200 yds out... Bring your 130's  |

Well, from lookin at the who bringin what, it sadly looks like not that many folks are plannin on makin it.........
It is understandable that people have other things in life, not a problem,
To all you lukers out there, don't be bashful. Come out and meet folks. I don't even know that many, and I am lookin forward to finally meetin some that are goin. And it is a LONG haul from one end of the state to the other for me.
So come on out ya'll and have some fun. Besides the Too Cold To Fish Nite, these legs are some of the best BS sessions available where you get to meet people, hear other's lies, and put a face to a name. Its how I met some of my best life long friends was at one of these things.
So come on out.

I plan on fishing PI that night anyway, but I won't be able to get there at 3pm. How long do you guys plan on being at the parking lot for ?

Thanks JohnR. I would have gone right passed you guys.
I once went to Cape Cod through Rhode Island. True story. Now I never go anywhere without a GPS. 
This was my first North Shore Leg. Good food. Great people. Looking forward to next year's.
