I'm going on an all day ground-fishing trip on the Super Squirrel
party boat out of Galilee/Point Judith RI this Saturday. It's the
only one I could find in RI that didn't require reservations well
in advance.
Anybody been on this one before or are there other head boats in
RI that you can recommend that aren't all booked up?
By the way, the Fisherman Mag says the mackerel fishing in Cape Cod
bay is fantastic right now, especially at East end of canal.Lots
of Tautog also at West end canal, Sesuit rock piles, and Corporation
Beach in Dennis.
No doubt about it, it's prime time...so much so it's hard to choose
where to go !

| 725.1 | RI Report | MIMIC::DOWNING | Mon May 23 1988 09:08 | 18 | |
Went on the Super Squirrel. Largest party boat I've been on (over
100 ft.). It leaves the dock at 6 AM so you've got to be there early
in the AM.
Most people caught eels. Some cod, some small pollock, some small
sharks, no blues that I know of. All but one or two of the cod were
of small size. Trip started out calm, but ended up pretty rocky.
A number of seasickness cases. I got pretty woozy after about 4-5
hrs. of fishing and had to call it a day (took a nap).
My only complaint about the boat is that they do strictly drift
fishing (no anchoring). This means it's hard to keep the bait on
the bottom and tangled lines are the rule not the exception. That
really cuts down on productivity. They also don't seem to spend
more than 15 minutes in each spot.
Other head boats I've been on will anchor for 45 minutes in one
spot. The catch ratio always seems to be better under these conditions.

| 725.2 | Rental Gear in Newport, RI? | ESRAD::FINDLEY | Thu May 24 1990 11:07 | 3 | |
Does anyone know where to rent gear in Newport, RI? Or, is there a
way to get some good stuff cheap. I have an opportunity to fish this
summer a few weekends. Advice/Suggestions.

Has anyone had any experience on the "Seven B's" Charter boat out of Pt Judith for blues ? I'm thinking of going out with them tomorrow night (friday). How are the blues hitting south of Rhose Island ? Thanks Ken | |||||
