If you want salt water, Washburn Island in Waquoit Bay is terrific. Good fishing in the pond (stripers, bluefish, fluke, and bonito and false albacore in the channel and right out front at the end of the summer.) There aren't too many spots, and they tend to book up quickly, but I really like it.

Regular sunglasses with a good strap. Been slammed more times over the years than I care to remember on a sailboard, and haven't lost a pair yet. Hard to imagine that rolling would result in greater force.....

I picked up an eTrex Legend CX last year as a primary unit for the yak, and as a backup for the bigger one in my boat I'm using the BlueChart software on both).
I've been pretty happy with it so far- it's gone swimming (on a leash) a couple of times, and no problems to date.....
Oh- and in the same way I taught my kids to tell time with a clock with hands, and to tie sneakers instead of just using velcro, I also carry (and can use) a compass and chart... ;-))

They're almost exclusively sit-on-top guys who use bulky gear like tubes-and-worms.
Not all of them- some of us wouldn't be caught dead dragging a tube & worm- or using a sit-on-top
Personally, I do more flyfishing than anything else- had to resort to alternative measures this past season due to some recurring tendonitis, but I'm in PT now, and have been assured that I'll be good to go come spring (It's always helpful when your PT likes to fish too.....)

"Quite muddy" at dead low is quite the understatement- hundred-yard mud slog would be a better description... Couple of hours after ought to be fine, and if there's no parking left at the ramp itself, you can unload there and park on an adjacent street.

Just got this link from somebody, and thought I'd share....

Does anybody have a good source for a recent review of handheld VHFs? All this talk has me considering replacing my current one....

Long-time lurker, long-time kayak fisherman (spin/fly/conventional). There are loads of stripers available (in season) in Boston Harbor, as well as flounder and mackerel, and often not far from shore. Macs and stripers on the North Shore. Rec boat (all I currently own) makes it really easy, but would be happy to join in here.
