Took a ride this morning
 

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

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. :)

Looking south along Misquamicut towards Watch Hill.

Fishing the Westerly Reef right in front of the Westerly Light House.

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.

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.

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.
