Hey - Nice to meet you too!!! My Bro-in-law got in real late but we headed to Westerly, around 3:30am and checked a couple spots. We turned the corner at the bowl at Weekapaug Point and saw about 7 cars with Jersey plates and wound up meeting Charlie M & Ed J as they were heading towards what looked like the point west of Weekapaug Point. The water was moving FAST and kinda big as the tide was on the beginning of the incoming. The waves were big enough to push me off the rock I was standing on. We moved down a little more west but the water was still inundated with big weeds.

Where we were, you would get a "hit" of weeds that the undertow was taking line on. Half dozen casts each took a few minutes to retrieve as the needed line clearing was long. Moved a bit and found the same thing. We decided to hit one other spot on the way home that would be somewhat protected as we needed to be in Foxboro Mass around 9am for the Pats game (and what an awesome game it was - 5th row and so close I could smell the breath of the cheerleaders )...

Here we were setting up at the inside of Quonny when this fellow walks up and says "Where could a few fellows from Jersey find some fish?". Turns out it was Cool Hand Fluke, Jenty, and Jenty's brother. We could see the surf breaking out front of the Breachweay from the first parking lot heading towards the ramp. Now for those that know where this lot is, you know you really can't see anywhere near the ends of the Breachway but you can see just part of the beach/jetty just beyong the hard bend in the inlet. The surf was crashing so hard that a couple guys in a 20 footer put in, went half way down the inlet and turned around because the water was so big... I gave a couple quick hints but the conditions out front, the tide, wind weren't to conducive to going out front. And when I said that you had to cut through someone's yard... (Hey Don - I always cut through the yard but where are you supposed to cut through anyway??) They worked some small stuff just down out of sight from us but I wasn't sure how they did. I managed one small dink bass...

Charlie M, ED J, CHF, Jenty & Bro Jenty - nice to meet you guys and hope you make it up to RI again. You saw the structure of Lil' Rhody and you should see it when the conditions are better - it's just that good

Charlie - as a matter of fact I do. Our resident Clamdigger is a Rhody Realtor
