any tips on north river mouth from shore?
just got my tin boat in the water last weekend.
found my way out to the spit and looked at the cross currents and whitewater and said ... "Self!... you should learn to fish here!"
so, any tips for fishing from shore into the mouth of the north river from the scituiate sand spit?

My brother and I have fished that spot quite a few times. Be very careful as the tide really moves there. I always wear a PFD. I typically fish that spot on an outgoing, close to low. The green can right across the middle of the spit is a good spot. Great place for tossing eels and letting the current do it's thing.

It can be a nice place for a pleasure ride, but the mouth has taken many lives over the years. I've navigated that mouth for many years. Even in 12' breaking over the top.  |

Please be careful, n-ne winds and outgoing tide turn into a giant standing wave. I almost capsized my whaler skiff there.

thats why I motor up the herring brook from driftway.
I then pulled the boat up onto the sand spit..
since its a little aluminum rowboat I could carry it up and over if need be.

Day to remember!
One of my favorite trips this year was on the North River with my step daughter(9) and my uncle in law. He brought his inflatable tender and we drifted up and down using sea worms. We caught almost a dozen fish in almost 2hrs. This was my step daughters 1st bass of her life and she was having so much fun. I quote"I don't want this to ever end" No keepers but it was great seeing her fight the schoolies on LT.

I've only fished the North River a few times and every time I rigged worms on light 10lb line with small hooks right thru their pincers and let them drift around in the current(which is pretty fast there). We let out about 20-30 yards and hooked up often. I found the outgoing tide is best but dont get out font in the mouth. I can't emphasize that enough. It could be the last fishing trip you ever have. I've also seen guys live lining eel's with good results. i've never fished that way but lots of guys on this site do so I'm sure you could learn how to do that with no problem. Not sure if the North River is still holding anything right now though with this fall run goin on. Good be the end of the season there. |
