It's starting!

Hey Merch, yea weather is bad. I am waiting it out. Can't be bothered to mess with it. Sorry to hear you had no luck the other night. When you refer to "Potters"? You aren't talking about Potters Cove in Jamestown at base of the bridge are you? And again, where is the Narrows? Can anyone tell me? I am new at this and do not know where all the references are that people speak off. Maybe someone should make a map of the area with the spots people refer to identified, and sell them? Me and the tourists would be the only customers probably. Ha ha. Ok, keep it going, can't wait to get out there again.

It's not that Potters. It's another one in SoCo. The Narrow River emties into the ocean on the north end of Narragansett Town beach and its fishing is no secret. You can get in with a small boat but pick your days wisely if your not familiar with the water. A decent swell and an outgoing tide make the entrance pretty messy for a boat but also ideal for fishing. Once up inside the area is littered with sandbars. If you follow the river inland it goes west under Rt 1A in Narragansett. Where it goes under the road is called Sprague Bridge and you can park and wade in either direction from there. After that the river turns north and goes under Middlebridge Rd (otherwise known as the pork belly), another good spot. Head further north and it turns into Pettaquamscutt Lake and goes all the way up to Gilbert Stuart, where the herring move up to Carr Pond and spawn. For all the water north of middlebridge you have to be pretty crafty to find shore access and the entire area is ideal for a kayak. This whole area is pretty popular and I don't think I'm letting the "cat out of the bag" by posting it here. It's a great area with year-round fish, early fish and summerlong fish. It also gets a lot of hickory shad and fluke as we get closer to summer. Hope this helps.

hey Tom,
Boy, I am very familiar with that whole area. I know exactly where you mean. Not where it dumps into the ocean, but all the area around the bridge and sandbars. Thanks for the info. You did not let anything out of the bag, I was just not familiar with the names. Thanks again, and I will post my first catch of the year with a photo. Hopefully it will not be in July. LOL
