461.0. "FISHING/SWIMMING LOWER CAPE W/KIDS - PLS HELP..." by MSBCS::BIBEAULT () Mon Aug 07 1995 15:12

    Hi,
    
    Next week we'll be camping In Sandwhich.  We'll have friends visiting
    that have two young boys (6 & 8).  We'd like to take them out fishing
    and swimming and picknicking for a day.  I enjoy fishing the Canal but
    that is out of the question for safety reasons.  Would anyone know of a
    good place to go (LOWER Cape) that would be suitable with young kids that 
    we could fish and allow the kids to fish and/or play around the waters 
    edge? (prefer saltwater)  The kids are good kids and I really hope we 
    can find a spot that would allow them some fun without being as dangerous 
    as breakers are.  
    
    Thanks!!!
    Marc

461.1	Almost anywhere on the Bay side...	SUBPAC::CRONIN		`Mon Aug 07 1995 14:16`	10
	I'd suggest around the mouth of Scorton's Creek or Old Harbor. If you really like the Canal you could try around the base of the Scusset Jetty. As the tide goes down there's a little sandy area and some not too steep rocks for the kids to pick around in. With guidance they can go into holes in the jetty at low tide, just make sure they don't go in too far... Most kids won't, it's a little spooky for them... B.C.

	Or call Outermost Marina in Chatham. Ask if they still run a boat service over to South Beach - or whatever its call nowdays.
461.3	Scorton's Creek & Old Harbor?	MSBCS::BIBEAULT		`Wed Aug 09 1995 11:14`	5
	Where's Scorton's Creek and Old Harbor? Chatham would be great too. Thanks! Marc
461.4	You asked about Sandwich, right?	SUBPAC::CRONIN		`Wed Aug 09 1995 11:28`	6
	Scorton's and Old Harbor are on the Bay side in Sandwich... I guess it depends on how far you want to travel. Remember that the Cape is over 70 miles long. B.C.
461.5	in Sandwich? Great!	MSBCS::BIBEAULT		`Wed Aug 09 1995 14:43`	4
	Great! Thanks. Marc
461.6	How about Nantucket Sound???	MSBCS::MERCIER		`Wed Aug 09 1995 16:32`	10
	While were on the topic. It just so happens that I've rented a place on Nantucket Sound, South Chatam. Now if I am not mistaken, is this not a good place to fish for Stripers� It's for Labor Day week...... Honey? Did I say I wasn't bring any fishing equipment on vacation? ;^) Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks, Bob M�

	re: Honey? Did I say I wasn't bring any fishing equipment on vacation? ;^) This reminds me of the following that was recently sent to me... "Give a man a fish and you've fed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and he disappears on weekends." How true, eh? -Joe-
