Newport, Ri - 2007 Squid Season

[dapooh65]

Hi Pooh, I am going to launch from a new place that I haven't been to before. It is the Oakland Beach ramp near Warwick Neck. It is close to where I fished last year next to the Quonsset Peir/Airport. Three of us filled 3 5-gal pails in three hours there. It was in 15 feet of water next to the pier. Check it out on the web.



If you plan to launch out of Newport you'll have to use Fort Adams. It is a terrible ramp bbut managable and there is parking. It is only a half mile run with the boat to the goat Island Bridge. My friend Jeff made homemade lights that go on 12V battery and fit in our rod holders on the boat. I also use a underwater squid light made by Brinkman that attaches to a 12 volt battery.

Good luck. Snaildarter <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbsup2:' />

Hi Snaildarter...thanks for the info. I'll look into it...I will try Fort Adams but 1/2 boat drive is scary to me...still a newbie with boat too. Do you know Wellington Ave boat ramp and Polar street boat ramp?

According to some in here, these are public boat ramps but not too sure about parking for the trailer.



Looking forward for your reply.
