Usually launch from GH, but went out of Plymouth last year and it was SA-WEET!!!! Tons of parking......

Any body planning on hitting the inshore humps on the way out? A couple years ago we had a limit of Fish 9nm out of GH..........

On The Edge, I'll be at Capt. Stew's seminar too........
I buy the season pass from GH and launch solely from there, but I spend a lot of time in Scituate harbor just to take walks at the lighthouse and jetty. As I understand it there are several ramps in Scituate , but the one I am thinking of is in the center. Actually just outside the center on the way to the lighthouse. I am usually there at night so I am not sure what kind of mess it can be during a weekend day. The lot is small, but I've never seen it full. The trailer spots also seem pretty small. For me it's not worth the risk of showing up and not getting in and then having to go to GH anyhow. Both ramps are the same distance from my house, about 10 miles.

I'd just rather be guaranteed to get out at GH.

One of these days I will launch out of there since I never hit the NWC. Before Memorial day I can;t imagine there would be any difficulty in Scituate though. It's also free

BTW back when I first started over at THT I realized I had seen you pulling out of GH as I was launching a few times. That was after the fact. Had I known I'd have said hi.. You seem to get over there a lot from you location!

GH is one of my favorite launches. I keep her on the trailer in Charlestown RI, live in W.Mass, and fish between RI & GH up to Cape Ann area. Also have a buddy on the Cape so fish out of Sesuit sometimes. Drive a white tundra trailering a beer can

GH is a great area. Can get a bit busy but the Harbor Master is always decent to speak with, and usually tells us what to expect for weather.

I'll look for ya, what do you have for a boat?

1995 Four Winns 238 Vista Express Cruiser. Name: Resolution

Not exactly a fishing boat, but I am making a bunch of mods, including removing the L-Lounge and replacing it with a Hugh Gunnel rod holder/bait station. It'll give me a nice open deck to work with.

well looks like all questions have been answered. Plymouth is not the best local to launch out of but we use it cuz that is the closest ramp to were the boat is stored ( south plymouth.) and it is a sweetramp as far as size and parking goes. I am gonna have to talk to hoop and check out Scituate. Is it a good size ramp? hoops triton is pretty big and sits high on the trailer. so sinking the trailer is a must to launch and haul.. and the parking area has to accomidate a long truck and trailer. not as big as riptides rig (he need a hole ramp and his own parking lot for that rig) Yes i wish i had that problem

I am sure a few other NBS'ers will be out like last year Dave on the Relentless, to start his season, Dan on Tunameltdown with his new ride.

any one else?

This could be an all out NBS Stellwagon blitz..

look foward to sharing some water with you guys.

AlloyToy,
Look for hoop and i at the seminar. We are going down friday and will be there friday night for the Capt meeting and all day saturday. I will be wearing a Brown NMFS Marine Research Tagging Program hat. If i know Hoop he will most likely be wearing his good luck Bud and Mary's fishing hat..

First brew is on me.

John
