I went today from shore. Lily pads galore. to thick to throw anything but a frog. I got 1 hit but wasnt paying attention and missed him?

i was near the boat launching area, any better areas?

Dont't know where this shad factory is.Do you mean bad luck pond?

It's on Reed St in Rehoboth.. It's also know as Shoe Factory pond.. Big fish in there as it is fed by the Palmer river and shad...

I have fished from shore and got a few.. I fished down near the waterfall with jigs.. black/blue... Also been there with the boat.

It's real nice from shore earlier in the year..

I use to fish that years ago when I lived in Seekonk, did really well too. Theres an older guy at work who claims he hits them there farely well there when he goes...always though about heading back up there fer a few hours....its been so long I cant remeber if  can launch my jon boat or not.

I've fished there a few times this year with some good results, only from shore.  I just moved to town and it took me a while to find this place!  

You could get a jon boat in there but not easily.  I've only fished from teh area around the dam and to get in you'd have to drop the boat down a somewhat steep little bank and then get in the boat where the water drops off pretty quickly.  By the erosion there, it's evident that people have done it in the past.  Canoe might be easier...
