What you don't see is to his right is an island about 150' from shore with a lighthouse on it. The water funnels into a narrow straight right there and there's a bit of current, that's what makes this spot so good. I've had my boat within 100' of where he took this picture. Off in the background is Long Sands. A great place to throw some plugs in some of the bowls and rock piles.

The day I fell on that rock I broke my custom rod in 3 pc and effed my neck up hard. I've had serious problems with arthritis in my neck ever since. I took a nasty whiplash injury there and touched my head on the rock when I went down. Just enough to say wtf did I ground out there or what.

I couldn't move my neck for over a month at the time. 2 xrays and a mri abt 3 months later.....

This place is hit very hard. Everyone goes there. I only fish it in heavy wind, rain and surf. When the rest stay home.

Oh I know 66 I was just messin' with Scott, why do you think I used to swim the channel, no one else was crazy enough to do it, and would have the front side to myself :) thank god it wasn't worse Scott, was it a couple years ago a fella died from mass I think on the rocks or a jetty in wells?

Not a prob. I wish we could take 2 vevicles up. She goes shopping I go fishing. I just wish the spot burn hadn't happened. Now everyone knows the fish was caught where all the tourists go in the nice weather.  :o Though after that we had great weather for the rest of the week.

For the Spot Burn. The Spot is off the right side of Shortsands. We had permisson to fish there.
That's why some times it's nice to ask to fish.
