' /> It's closer than the newport bridge, plus a lot more fun once you dock.
We usually go there a few times a summer. Last year, just cuz it was fun I put a couple of fluorescent canyon lights in the water. Wow. What a show. There was a worm hatch going on and between them and the jellies, it was like watching a psychedelic movie. There were a few squid early on, but apparently some time after I went to bed they were all over the lights. Figures, nobody told me.
Anyway, that was in August I think. But they were there.[/quote]
NICE! Good info Greg. I agree, Newport is further for me than Pt. Jude, and my boat wouldn't burn squat out to Block, probably the same $ it costs me too cross the NPT bridge with trailer! The only big ticket item of that trip would be a hotel, unless we run back to Jude and go home. Off season the hotels are pretty cheap out there. In like Sept or Oct my brother stayed at Ballards(I think) for 60+ bucks with his girlfriend. I think we may try it out! Maybe fluke in daytime, squid at night in the pond....
