Newport, Ri - 2007 Squid Season

[quote name='Snaildarter' post='8735' date='May 7 2007, 09:38 AM']Hi Dapooh65, I launched my boat up in Warwick and squid fished at the pier by the Navy base and the Jamestown bridge without getting a bite last night. I noticed from your post that youlaunched your boat on the Jamestown side of the Newport Bridge. Where? How long a run is it from the launch to Goat Island? Is the launch a public ramp? I'm trying to avoid Fort Adams because I hate goingdown the narrow streets of Newport with my big boat. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Snaildarter[/quote]



Thanks Stiper for very good info...



NailDarter....there's a public boat ramp (not really a ramp but do-able) in Jamestown, near the Marina. There are two problems...you can only take your boat in and out during high tide. The other problem is no place to park your trailer. I paid lots of money to park my trailer and to dock my boat at the marina...that's why I'm asking boaters to show me Fort Admas ...lol.....in your case, you want the other way around :-). I guess my boat is alot smaller than yours...only 18'
