Tuesday / Weds

[RRabiner]

Tuesday's - plan to get out was aborted due to the fact that I believed the weather report - WRONG- and then allowed myself caught up in phone calls that ate up the early part of the day.

Ended up at the beach around 4 , just as the breeze decided to turn on , and that combined with the left over swell / some weeds - made it a short trip.

Today - Weds - decided to take advantage of the weather - and go look for everything that we saw last Friday

As I was leaving the house in the morning- I caught the sight of some birds working right out front of me - so it seemed that we

Cruised down to the Dumplings - where they were stacked up - but nothing was showing

Pushed on further south - covering both Beavertail and West Passage - nada

Out front the left over swell was still present from the storms of last week - but no seas on top of them

Played the reef for a while - nada-

Worked Seal Rock - Nada

( Saw some other guys working the break there with the same results )

Worked Gooseburry - Nada

Worked Land's End - Nada

Ran east - and worked all of Sakonnet - NADA

The left over swell made parts of the area difficult to fish - The corner of East Island was VERY IMPRESSIVE - but i couldn't buy a follow

Didn't feel like pushing further east ( probably was a mistake - and will read reports that Wesport was on fire )

Worked the inside of Stonehenge - NADA

( even places that " always" hold fish on the back side were empty )

Cruised up the River for a bit - and never saw any life - so I turned west / covering the front of third beach - with no life showiing

Did have the opportunity to follow some birds sporadically DIVING on bait - off third beach gannets? - but there was nothing evident underneath them- and once they flocked up - they headed SW - and kept on going

At some point - you recognize that this is not going to be your day - and that the fish are not to be found - so - the Ipod got plugged in -and with tunes playing - I enjoyed Nov 1 and beuatiful weather

Worked back across the front - and hit the reef again - absoultely peppered it - with nary a follow -

Ran over to Beavertail - need I tell you the results -

Decided that the fish were not out front -( duh) and ran up west passage - figuring that i had to find some signs of life -

Never saw anything the entire trip north- most birds i saw were following a dragger on the back side of Jamestown -

Pushed up 1/2 way on the west side of Prudence - nothing

Swung back to the eastern side of Prudence - nothing - Played off the T docks - saw nothing - marked nothing

Tried the break off of Dyer - nada

As the sun was starting to go down -decided to call it a day after trying the rocks off of NEB - with the same null responce

Alot of water covered

Threw everything in the book at them

Nobody was home anywhere

But for Nov 1- who can complain - had a very pretty day on the water

and air temps were in the 60's

Water temps

Upper bay 57 - found one cold spot in the upper bay of 55 - but i think that it was run off from the rainstorm - not the bay itself

Out front 57 - 58

Closest i got to a fish all day was the tunafish sandwich that I made for dinner

Planning to use the yak tomorrow - weather permitting- and see if a concentrated approach on Sakonnet will yield something
