We were up in Boylston two weeks ago and the suckers were trying to pick the truck up!!  They are bad this year.

Rained last night and the night before
Grand total---5/100 of an inch.
At least everything got wet for the first time in a long time.

Same here my immediate area got wet but 20 miles north and south of me got soaked,it starts out looking like we will finally get a soaker but then it drifts off and away from me.Next chance is Thurs night and Friday!

My Great Lake adventure got derailed last week due to no crew . The good time roll however . Weather has been spectacular here in Rhode Island and fresh foods from the ocean have come abound . Tomorrow I will try my hand at rod & reel here . Pretty amazing the bay boats that bring home some bounty . Also amazing the size of some of those cruisers that just beach up ..
Life is good

Hey fichy, I saw a report and pictures of Boston mackerel being caught in the eastern end of Long Island sound.  I have not seen or heard of this species or other mackerel in the western sound for thirty years. 
HT, You might want to tie on a sabiki rig to gather all the bait you'll need for stripers and blues especially mackerel if they are around.  

Rich--
Take a short walk up inside the Charlestown breach.
Just walk through the parking lot onto  the short path more or less in the middle to rear of the lot.
Will require crossing the first waterway- its not deep and the bottom looks muddy but is generally solid- but the Island there is great for fishing the main channel above the parking lot.
If schoolies or  harbor blues are in sometimes they can be had in the big salt pond on the back side of the island on the surface.
Have been rewarded there in the past- using white jig and pig. It can get real fast on the outgoing.
Also when crossing the channel above the parking lot there is a small pocket a few yards down on the island side that sometimes holds smaller schoolies.
If you prefer using a Yak there is a rental place by the bridge on the way to the Breach.
If you yak into the breach on the outgoing - HOLD ON- your going for a ride and it can really stand up some days right at the mouth- don't go in there.
The safest way it that happens is to keep to the far side from the lot all the way out.

Rich -another chance--lol
The breachway out of the pond behind Misquamicut--
Park at the bait shop or breach parking lot  and walk the North side all the way up to the bend between the waterway and the North end of the pond.
Its a couple of hundred yards up and you will see a tall grassy point of sorts  right where the pond takes its right angle  turn into the waterway.
Do this on the outgoing tide and use eels for bait - NO weights.
I might suppose large sand worms or even those fake scented eels or worms may be used- I like live bait.
Wear sneakers as the crabs try and eat your feet while standing on the grassy point in the inches deep water.
Best fished on the swing- casting straight out and drifting down and holding on the down end a while-- repeat.
I keep my bail open and feed line very slowly by hand here and there on the way downstream- then close it when its at about 3/4 of the way back towards the road.
Great Striper action some days.
This works any time of day - at the outgoing tide.

We dug in the mud when tide went out . Worms and clams galore . As far as people Charlie , it don't matter where you go . Turds will always be turds , they are here too.
Any rate , I filled my large cooler with fresh eats in 3 days with minimal effort and had fun doing so . Scared a few crowds off with hippy music .
SR , ah , I'm past that unless timing is right . Lazy troller I am now .

Ps those that still dream , pimp that river all you wish , Yankee snaggler, it's not a bad place just not my place .
Great Lake Ontario is nice

Pss. If I only had a quarter for every bs that big head tool puts up , I'd own a charter fleet out there

The much anticipated thunderstorms and rains came in like blockbusters a couple of evenings ago.
Fireworks and evening picnics cancelled all over.
Yeeeeep-- 2/10 of an inch came pouring down.
We are about to be in drought conditions if not already----
Everything is drying up.

We have got a moderate amount the last week or so and we are in much better shape.
 

Have fun and be safe everyone. Eat a Hamburg for me as I have to put in a good day at the hospital tomorrow. We baled up a few hundred today. The hay is thin this year as we did not get a wet spring, but we have  enough to feed out so all the rest is extra. For a public service announcement please everyone be careful with the boomers. Those in dry areas for fires and everyone don't pull a JPP and blow your reeling hand off.

Time for the giant little neck feast . We are grilling about 10 doz necks , burgers , dogs , corn , salads and ice cold Busch to wash it down . What great weather !!!
Thanks Clint for keeping the doors open . I work at a 24/7 facility and know what it's like .. My boy is on midnights 7p-7a . I did 8 straight Christmas Eve's and days .
Peace & Tuna to All !!

Rained last night - too little --again.

Hot is right. I ran  wiring in a 2 story garage that must have been 125 on the 2nd floor. Odd thing, my area has very few deer flies, Clint. I expected quite a few, but no, and not that bad with mosquitoes, either.  I'll take it.

We have been getting much needed rain on and off for a day or two.
My brown yard may actually turn green again and need mowing- been a while.
HEY- any East end lake reports ??

We FINALLY got a heavy shower here yesterday but it's back to hot and dry later this week.
