Took a ride this morning

down to Westerly and Misquamicut State Beach just because I was bored.

Took some pictures. I apologize for the quality - I forgot to reset the ISO back to 200 - I shot these at 1600 which was really dumb.

But a good time was had by all.

Here's a boid and some boidies.

This was the surf along Misquamicut State Beach - I was standing in front of my truck and wasn't paying attention - the damn surf was inbound quickly and I almost got stuck. Thank you Lord for four wheel drive in big heavy pickups. :>)

This is the North end of the Westerly Channel which runs inside the Westerly Reef along Napatree Beach.

Some birds working the bait ball pushed inside the cove where the North end of Napatree Beach meets the Westerly Light House causeway.

Unfortunately, I didn't take my surf rod with me - the fish were busting the surface all over the place - nice range of stripers too - 20/25 pounders.

Hopefully the wind will stay up tonight and I'll head back tomorrow with a surf rod and see what happens.

Tom, thanks for sharing the pictures. Looks like a very nice beach, ever do any surf fishing there ?

I'm not much of a surf fisher - I do have some gear - waders, boots, couple of rods, some lures, but I'm not big on walking on, around, over and through rocks and the like - beach fishing is just boring.

However, there are a lot of guys who do use this beach a lot and there are some spots that produce consistently in season. I fish this beach close in towards Westerly where the state beach ends and the less sandy portion begins.

Most days, I would agree with you, but in a blitz, or when you hook a big one, there is no better fishing. Something about a fish on the line, and surf crashing around you, it has to be my favorite fishing. thunder

You're getting mighty brave taking that new camera out in all that wet weather. Good pics, looks like fun. Let us know how you do with the stripers tomorrow.

They probably were in there, but this was strictly a striper show this morning. Shortwave
